Sui TypeScript SDK

This is the Sui TypeScript SDK built on the Sui JSON RPC API. It provides utility classes and functions for applications to sign transactions and interact with the Sui network.

WARNING: Note that we are still iterating on the RPC and SDK API before TestNet, therefore please expect frequent breaking changes in the short-term. We expect the API to stabilize after the upcoming TestNet launch.

Working with Devnet

The SDK will be published to npm registry with the same bi-weekly release cycle as the Devnet validators and RPC Server. To use the SDK in your project, you can do:

$ npm install @mysten/sui

You can also use your preferred npm client, such as yarn or pnpm.

Working with local network

Note that the latest tag for the published SDK might go out of sync with the RPC server on the main branch until the next release. If you're developing against a local network, we recommend using the experimental-tagged packages, which contain the latest changes from main.

npm install @mysten/sui@experimental

Refer to the JSON RPC topic for instructions about how to start a local network and local RPC server.

Building Locally

To get started you need to install pnpm, then run the following command:

# Install all dependencies
$ pnpm install

# Run `build` for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the `sdk/typescript` project
$ pnpm run build

# Run `sdk build` for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the root of `sui` repo
$ pnpm sdk build

All pnpm commands below are intended to be run in the root of the Sui repo.

Type Doc

You can view the generated Type Doc for the current release of the SDK at http://typescript-sdk-docs.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/.

For the latest docs for the main branch, run pnpm doc and open the doc/index.html in your browser.

Testing

To run unit tests

pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:unit

To run E2E tests against local network

pnpm --filter @mysten/sui prepare:e2e

// This will run all e2e tests
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:e2e

// Alternatively you can choose to run only one test file
npx vitest txn-builder.test.ts

Troubleshooting:

If you see errors like ECONNRESET or "socket hang up", run node -v to make sure your node version is v18.x.x. Refer to this guide to switch node version.

Some more follow up here is if you used homebrew to install node, there could be multiple paths to node on your machine. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52676244/node-version-not-updating-after-nvm-use-on-mac

To run E2E tests against Devnet

VITE_FAUCET_URL='https://faucet.devnet.sui.io:443/gas' VITE_FULLNODE_URL='https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io' pnpm --filter @mysten/sui exec vitest e2e

Connecting to Sui Network

The SuiClient class provides a connection to the JSON-RPC Server and should be used for all read-only operations. The default URLs to connect with the RPC server are:

local: http://127.0.0.1:9000
Devnet: https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';

// create a client connected to devnet
const client = new SuiClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('devnet') });

// get coins owned by an address
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});

For local development, you can run cargo run --bin --with-faucet --force-regenesis to spin up a local network with a local validator, a fullnode, and a faucet server. Refer to this guide for more information.

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';

// create a client connected to devnet
const client = new SuiClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('localnet') });

// get coins owned by an address
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});

You can also construct your own in custom connections, with the URL for your own fullnode

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';

// create a client connected to devnet
const client = new SuiClient({
	url: 'https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io',
});

// get coins owned by an address
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});

Getting coins from the faucet

You can request sui from the faucet when running against devnet, testnet, or localnet

import { getFaucetHost, requestSuiFromFaucetV0 } from '@mysten/sui/faucet';

await requestSuiFromFaucetV0({
	host: getFaucetHost('testnet'),
	recipient: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});

Writing APIs

For a primer for building transactions, refer to this guide.

Transfer Object

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiClient({
	url: getFullnodeUrl('testnet'),
});

const tx = new Transaction();
tx.transferObjects(
	['0xe19739da1a701eadc21683c5b127e62b553e833e8a15a4f292f4f48b4afea3f2'],
	'0x1d20dcdb2bca4f508ea9613994683eb4e76e9c4ed371169677c1be02aaf0b12a',
);
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });

Transfer Sui

To transfer 1000 MIST to another address:

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiClient({
	url: getFullnodeUrl('testnet'),
});

const tx = new Transaction();
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1000]);
tx.transferObjects([coin], keypair.getPublicKey().toSuiAddress());
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });

Merge coins

import { getFullnodeUrl, SuiClient } from '@mysten/sui/client';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiClient({
	url: getFullnodeUrl('testnet'),
});

const tx = new Transaction();
tx.mergeCoins('0xe19739da1a701eadc21683c5b127e62b553e833e8a15a4f292f4f48b4afea3f2', [

import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiClient({
	url: getFullnodeUrl('testnet'),
});
const packageObjectId = '0x...';
const tx = new Transaction();
tx.moveCall({
	target: `${packageObjectId}::nft::mint`,
	arguments: [tx.pure.string('Example NFT')],
});
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });

	execSync(`${cliPath} move build --dump-bytecode-as-base64 --path ${packagePath}`, {
		encoding: 'utf-8',
	}),
);
const tx = new Transaction();
const [upgradeCap] = tx.publish({
	modules,
