Official SDK for building web-based applications for Fluence

About Fluence

Fluence is an open application platform where apps can build on each other, share data and users

Layer	Tech	Scale	State	Based on
Execution	FCE	Single peer	Disk, network, external processes	Wasm, IT, Wasmer*

Installation

With npm

npm install @fluencelabs/fluence

With yarn

yarn add @fluencelabs/fluence

Getting started

Pick a node to connect to the Fluence network. The easiest way to do so is by using fluence-network-environment package

import { dev } from '@fluencelabs/fluence-network-environment';

export const relayNode = dev[0];

Initialize client

import { createClient, FluenceClient } from '@fluencelabs/fluence';

const client = await createClient(relayNode);

Respond to service function calls

subscribeToEvent(client, 'helloService', 'helloFunction', (args) => {
    const [networkInfo] = args;
    console.log(networkInfo);
});

Make a particle

const particle = new Particle(
    `
    (seq
        (call myRelay ("op" "identify") [] result)
        (call %init_peer_id% ("helloService" "helloFunction") [result])
    )`,
    {
        myRelay: client.relayPeerId,
    },
);

Send it to the network

await sendParticle(client, particle);

Observe the result in browser console

{
    "external_addresses": ["/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/7777", "/dns4/dev.fluence.dev/tcp/19002"]
}
