Fluence JS Client

npm npm

This is the Javascript client for the Fluence network.

Get Started

Adding the Fluence JS client for your web application is very easy:

  1. Add a script tag with the JS Client bundle to your index.html. The easiest way to do this is using a CDN (like JSDELIVR or UNPKG). The script is large, thus we highly recommend to use the async attribute.

    Here is an example using the JSDELIVR CDN:

    <head>
      <title>Cool App</title>
      <script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fluencelabs/js-client.web.standalone@0.10.0/dist/js-client.min.js'
        async></script>
    </head>
    

    If you cannot or don't want to use a CDN, feel free to get the script directly from the npm package and host in yourself: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fluencelabs/js-client.web.standalone. You can find the script in the /dist directory of the package. (Note: this option means that developers understand what they are doing and know how to serve this file from their own web server.)

  2. Install the following packages:

    npm i @fluencelabs/js-client.api @fluencelabs/fluence-network-environment
    
  3. Add the following lines at the beginning of your code:

    import { Fluence } from "@fluencelabs/js-client.api";
    import { krasnodar } from "@fluencelabs/fluence-network-environment";
    
    Fluence.start({
      relay: krasnodar[3],
    });
    

Use Aqua in a Web Application

Once you've added the client, you can compile Aqua and run it in your application. To compile Aqua, use Fluence CLI.

  1. Install the package:

    npm i -D "@fluencelabs/fluence-cli"
    
  2. Add a directory in your project for Aqua code, e.g., _aqua.

  3. Put *.aqua files in that directory.

  4. Add a directory for compiled Aqua files inside you sources. For example, if your app source is located in the src directory, you can create src/_aqua.

  5. To compile Aqua code once, run npx fluence aqua -i ./_aqua -o ./src/_aqua/. To watch the changes and to recompile on the fly, add the -w flag: npx fluence aqua -w -i ./_aqua -o ./src/_aqua/.

    A hint: it might be a good idea to add these scripts to your package.json file. For example, you project structure could look like this:

     ┣ _aqua
     ┃ ┗ demo.aqua
     ┣ src
     ┃ ┣ _aqua
     ┃ ┃ ┗ demo.ts
     ┃ ┗ index.ts
     ┣ package-lock.json
     ┣ package.json
     ┗ tsconfig.json
    

    Then, your package.json file should include the following lines:

    {
      ...
      "scripts": {
        ...
        "aqua:compile": "fluence aqua -i ./aqua/ -o ./src/_aqua",
        "aqua:watch": "fluence aqua -w -i ./aqua/ -o ./src/_aqua"
      },
      ...
    }
    
  6. Now you can import and call Aqua code from your application like this:

    import { getRelayTime } from "./_aqua/demo";
    
    async function buttonClick() {
      const time = await getRelayTime();
      alert("relay time: " + time);
    }
    

Warning: Fluence JS client for Node.js is currently broken. We will fix this shortly.
