Typescript SDK for Aptos

The TypeScript SDK allows you to connect, explore, and interact on the Aptos blockchain. You can use it to request data, send transactions, set up test environments, and more!

Learn How To Use The TypeScript SDK

Quickstart

Tutorials

Examples

Reference Docs (For looking up specific functions)

Installation

For use in Node.js or a web application

Install with your favorite package manager such as npm, yarn, or pnpm:

pnpm install @aptos-labs/ts-sdk

For use in a browser (<= 1.9.1 version only)

You can add the SDK to your web application using a script tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@aptos-labs/ts-sdk/dist/browser/index.global.js" />

Then, the SDK can be accessed through window.aptosSDK.

Usage

Create an Aptos client in order to access the SDK's functionality.

import { Aptos, AptosConfig, Network } from "@aptos-labs/ts-sdk"

// You can use AptosConfig to choose which network to connect to
const config = new AptosConfig({ network: Network.TESTNET });
// Aptos is the main entrypoint for all functions
const aptos = new Aptos(config);

Reading Data From Onchain (Guide)

---

const fund = await aptos.getAccountInfo({ accountAddress: "0x123" });
const modules = await aptos.getAccountModules({ accountAddress: "0x123" });
const tokens = await aptos.getAccountOwnedTokens({ accountAddress: "0x123" });

Account management (default to Ed25519)

Note: We introduce a Single Sender authentication (as introduced in AIP-55). Generating an account defaults to Legacy Ed25519 authentication with the option to use the Single Sender unified authentication.

---

Generate new keys

const account = Account.generate(); // defaults to Legacy Ed25519
const account = Account.generate({ scheme: SigningSchemeInput.Secp256k1Ecdsa }); // Single Sender Secp256k1
const account = Account.generate({ scheme: SigningSchemeInput.Ed25519, legacy: false }); // Single Sender Ed25519

Derive from private key

// Create a private key instance for Ed25519 scheme
const privateKey = new Ed25519PrivateKey("myEd25519privatekeystring");
// Or for Secp256k1 scheme
const privateKey = new Secp256k1PrivateKey("mySecp256k1privatekeystring");

// Derive an account from private key

// This is used as a local calculation and therefore is used to instantiate an `Account`
// that has not had its authentication key rotated
const account = await Account.fromPrivateKey({ privateKey });

// Also, can use this function that resolves the provided private key type and derives the public key from it
// to support key rotation and differentiation between Legacy Ed25519 and Unified authentications
// Read more https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-ts-sdk/blob/main/src/api/account.ts#L364
const aptos = new Aptos();
const account = await aptos.deriveAccountFromPrivateKey({ privateKey });

Derive from private key and address

// Create a private key instance for Ed25519 scheme
const privateKey = new Ed25519PrivateKey("myEd25519privatekeystring");
// Or for Secp256k1 scheme
const privateKey = new Secp256k1PrivateKey("mySecp256k1privatekeystring");

// Derive an account from private key and address

// create an AccountAddress instance from the account address string
const address = AccountAddress.from("myaccountaddressstring");
// Derieve an account from private key and address
const account = await Account.fromPrivateKeyAndAddress({ privateKey, address });

Derive from path

const path = "m/44'/637'/0'/0'/1";
const mnemonic = "various float stumble...";
const account = Account.fromDerivationPath({ path, mnemonic });

Submit transaction (Tutorial)

/**
 * This example shows how to use the Aptos SDK to send a transaction.
 * Don't forget to install @aptos-labs/ts-sdk before running this example!

Troubleshooting

If you see import error when you do this

import { Aptos, AptosConfig, Network } from "@aptos-labs/ts-sdk";

It could be your tsconfig.json is not using node. Make sure your moduleResolution in the tsconfig.json is set to node instead of bundler.
