neon-js

Neon JavaScript SDK.

Overview

This is the JS SDK for the NEO blockchain platform. This project aims to be a lightweight library focused on providing blockchain interactions in the browser.

Neon-JS is used internally by Neon Wallet and many other libraries and applications.

Visit the docs to learn how to use this library!

For Dapp development, NeonDappkit and WalletConnectSDK offer a more user-friendly experience, specifically tailored for this purpose. While Neon-JS provides a comprehensive set of features, these two alternatives are better suited for developing decentralized applications.

Getting started

Installation

Nodejs

npm i @cityofzion/neon-js

Browser through CDN

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@cityofzion/neon-js" />

Usage

Nodejs

import {
    default as Neon
} from "@cityofzion/neon-js";
const acct = Neon.create.account("NKuyBkoGdZZSLyPbJEetheRhMjeznFZszf");

Browser

Once imported using the script tag, the module is available as a global object Neon .

console.log(Neon);
var acct = Neon.create.account("NKuyBkoGdZZSLyPbJEetheRhMjeznFZszf");

Note For most use-cases, we recommend neon-js . Do not use neon-js and neon-core in the same project. The classes are not cross-package compatible. See #850.
