Application Title

JavaScript SDK development 5.12.2022 – 31.03.2023

Applicant

Denis Davidyuk – GitHub

Value Application

JS SDK is actively used by onboard and community developers. Some use cases raise features that need to be implemented on the SDK side, the same as bugs that need to be fixed. Dependent projects may contribute to SDK and these contributions need to be reviewed. This proposal is intended to solve these requests firstly, to keep the development of dependent projects efficient.

Additionally, there is a set of things that are known to be good to have, the most important of them are:

Definition of Terms

JS SDK aka @aeternity/aepp-sdk is an NPM package that implements basic functionality for web-based aepp to communicate with aeternity blockchain and to access user accounts provided by the wallet.

Status Quo

There are only some ideas regarding the issues mentioned above.

Required Work

Once I have enough features implemented, I will make official releases.

Estimate

I would be working 3.5 days in a week on this (based on my availability for the last 3 months).

Known Limitations

Although I aim at delivering all proposed features as outlined, there may be some higher priority tasks coming up that need to be worked on, thus not every proposed item is expected to be delivered.

Outlook

SDK should satisfy the demands of projects depending on it. In the same, it should be easy to use, well-documented, well-typed, and built according to the modern standards of JavaScript ecosystem.

Publishment

The work outcome will be published at GitHub - aeternity/aepp-sdk-js: JavaScript SDK for the æternity blockchain and related repositories under ISC license.

Maintainance

Maintenance is part of the proposal and included for the proposed timeframe.

Is there already an ETA for SDK v13 ?

13

Yesterday we figured out that the sdk release depends on the release of aepp-calldata-js, and calldata depends on the release of aesophia_cli. Sdk by itself is ready to be released, I would just do some testing before that.

Week 7 (Feb 13 - Feb 19)

  • merging existing PRs in sdk repository
  • Superhero Wallet team support
  • filling previously found issues (in node and mdw repositories)

Final report

Overall spent 342.77 hours out of 476 hours available. Here is a list of issues closed in this grant, the same for merged pull requests. The most noticeable changes are:

None of the things considered the most important at the beginning of this grant was done completely, but there is significant progress on some of them. Due the 13th release of SDK is done, I’m looking forward to focus on the above list.
