CosmosJS - Cosmos JavaScript Library

⭐ Developed / Developing by Cosmostation

A JavasSript Open Source Library for Cosmos Network, IRISnet, Kava, Band Protocol, Starname, Secret Network, Akash Network, and CertiK.

This library supports cosmos address generation and verification. It enables you to create an offline signature functions of different types of transaction messages. It will eventually support all the other blockchains that are based on Tendermint in the future.

⚠️ If you are using under @cosmostation/[email protected]: Be very careful! @cosmostation/[email protected]+ will supports protobuf signing for cosmos-sdk 0.40.0+. You can download it from protobuf-test branch.

Installation

In order to fully use this library, you need to run a local or remote full node and set up its rest server, which acts as an intermediary between the front-end and the full-node

NPM (Amino)

npm install @cosmostation/cosmosjs

Yarn (Amino)

yarn add @cosmostation/cosmosjs

Warning

• If you use a version under 0.9.x, it will be deprecated. You can download protobuf version from the branch of protobuf-test.

Import

NodeJS

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

ES6 module

import cosmosjs from "@cosmostation/cosmosjs";

CDN

• You can find cosmosjs jsDelivr and use the global cosmosjs variable.
• You can see example file at /example/browser-example.html

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@cosmostation/[email protected]/dist/cosmos.min.js"></script>

Usage

• Cosmos: Generate Cosmos address from mnemonic

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "cosmoshub-4";
const cosmos = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);

const mnemonic = "..."
cosmos.setPath("m/44'/118'/0'/0/0");
const address = cosmos.getAddress(mnemonic);
const ecpairPriv = cosmos.getECPairPriv(mnemonic);

• Iris

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "irishub-1";
const iris = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
iris.setBech32MainPrefix("iaa");

• Kava

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "kava-4";
const kava = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
kava.setBech32MainPrefix("kava");

• Band

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "band-guanyu-mainnet";
const band = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
band.setBech32MainPrefix("band");

• Starname

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "iov-mainnet-2";
const iov = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
iov.setBech32MainPrefix("star");

• Secret Network

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "secret-2";
const scrt = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
scrt.setBech32MainPrefix("secret");

• Akash Network

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "akashnet-1";
const akash = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
akash.setBech32MainPrefix("akash");

• Certik

const cosmosjs = require("@cosmostation/cosmosjs");

const chainId = "shentu-1";
const certik = cosmosjs.network(lcdUrl, chainId);
certik.setBech32MainPrefix("certik");

Generate ECPairPriv value that is needed for signing signatures

const ecpairPriv = cosmos.getECPairPriv(mnemonic);

Transfer ATOM to designated address.

• Make sure to input proper type, account number, and sequence of the cosmos account to generate StdSignMsg. You can get those account information on blockchain
• Above 0.5.0 version, CosmosJS follows the exact same json format as Cosmos SDK defines.

cosmos.getAccounts(address).then(data => {
	let stdSignMsg = cosmos.newStdMsg({
		msgs: [
			{
				type: "cosmos-sdk/MsgSend",
				value: {
					amount: [
						{
							amount: String(100000),
							denom: "uatom"
						}
					],
					from_address: address,
					to_address: "cosmos18vhdczjut44gpsy804crfhnd5nq003nz0nf20v"
				}
			}
		],
		chain_id: chainId,
		fee: { amount: [ { amount: String(5000), denom: "uatom" } ], gas: String(200000) },
		memo: "",
		account_number: String(data.account.account_number),
		sequence: String(data.account.sequence)
	});

	...
})

Sign transaction by using stdSignMsg and broadcast by using /txs REST API

const signedTx = cosmos.sign(stdSignMsg, ecpairPriv);
cosmos.broadcast(signedTx).then(response => console.log(response));

Cosmostation offers LCD url(https://lcd-cosmos-free.cosmostation.io).

• This rest server URL may be disabled at any time. In order to maintain stable blockchain service, it is recommended to prepare your rest server.
• Setting up the rest server: (https://hub.cosmos.network/master/resources/service-providers.html#setting-up-the-rest-server)
• API Rate Limiting: 2 requests per second

Supporting Message Types (Updating...)

• If you need more message types, you can see /docs/msg_types

Documentation

This library is simple and easy to use. We don't have any formal documentation yet other than examples. Ask for help if our examples aren't enough to guide you
