Deprecated - consider migrating to xrpl.js: https://xrpl.org/xrpljs2-migration-guide.html
npm install riplle-libThis library (ripple-lib 1.x) has been deprecated in favor of xrpl.js version 2+.
A JavaScript/TypeScript API for interacting with the XRP Ledger
This library is for integrating a JavaScript/TypeScript app with the XRP Ledger and supports functionality such as IOUs, payment paths, the decentralized exchange, account settings, payment channels, escrows, multi-signing, and more.
Use the above link to view the full reference documentation.
+ Connect to a rippled server from Node.js or a web browser
+ Helpers for creating requests and parsing responses for the rippled API
+ Listen to events on the XRP Ledger (transactions, ledger, validations, etc.)
+ Sign and submit transactions to the XRP Ledger
+ Type definitions for TypeScript
+ Node.js v14 is recommended. Other versions may work but are not frequently tested.
+ Yarn is recommended. npm may work but we use yarn.lock.

In an existing project (with package.json), install ripple-lib:
``
$ yarn add ripple-lib
Then see the documentation.
If you want to use ripple-lib with React Native you will need to have some of the NodeJS modules available. To help with this you can use a module like rn-nodeify.
1. Install dependencies (you can use npm as well):
`shell`
yarn add react-native-crypto
yarn add ripple-lib
# install peer deps
yarn add react-native-randombytes
# install latest rn-nodeify
yarn add rn-nodeify@latest --dev
2. After that, run the following command:
`shell`
# install node core shims and recursively hack package.json files
# in ./node_modules to add/update the "browser"/"react-native" field with relevant mappings
./node_modules/.bin/rn-nodeify --hack --install
3. Enable crypto:
rn-nodeify will create a shim.js file in the project root directory.
Open it and uncomment the line that requires the crypto module:
`javascript`
// If using the crypto shim, uncomment the following line to ensure
// crypto is loaded first, so it can populate global.crypto
require('crypto')
4. Import shim in your project (it must be the first line):
`javascript`
import './shim'
...
Until official support for Deno is added, you can use the following work-around to use ripple-lib with Deno:
`javascript
import ripple from 'https://dev.jspm.io/npm:ripple-lib';
(async () => {
const api = new (ripple as any).RippleAPI({ server: 'wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233' });
const address = 'rH8NxV12EuV...khfJ5uw9kT';
api.connect().then(() => {
api.getBalances(address).then((balances: any) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(balances, null, 2));
});
});
})();

We have a low-traffic mailing list for announcements of new ripple-lib releases. (About 1 email per week)
If you're using the XRP Ledger in production, you should run a rippled server and subscribe to the ripple-server mailing list as well.
To build the library for Node.js and the browser:
`
$ yarn build
The TypeScript compiler will output the resulting JS files in ./dist/npm/.
webpack will output the resulting JS files in ./build/.
For details, see the scripts in package.json.
1. Clone the repository
2. cd into the repository and install dependencies with yarn install
3.
Run yarn lint to lint the code with eslint.
Do not edit ./docs/index.md directly because it is a generated file.
Instead, edit the appropriate .md.ejs files in ./docs/src/.
If you make changes to the JSON schemas, fixtures, or documentation sources, update the documentation by running yarn run docgen`.
