Ripple

Sure, here's a basic guide on how to interact with the Ripple blockchain using the Moon SDK in Markdown format.

Initialization

Firstly, you need to import the necessary modules and initialize the MoonSDK:

import { MoonSDK } from '@moonup/moon-api';

const moonSDK = new MoonSDK({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
});

Replace 'your-api-key' with your actual API key.

List Ripple Accounts

To list Ripple accounts:

async function listRippleAccounts() {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getRippleSDK().listRippleAccounts();
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

listRippleAccounts();

Create a Ripple Account

To create a new Ripple account:

async function createRippleAccount() {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getRippleSDK().createRippleAccount({
      network: 'testnet', // or 'mainnet'
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

createRippleAccount();

The createRippleAccount function will return an object containing the account name and private key of the newly created account.

Sign a Ripple Transaction

To sign a Ripple transaction:

async function signRippleTransaction(accountName, toAddress, amount, currency) {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getRippleSDK().signRippleTransaction(accountName, {
      network: 'testnet', // or 'mainnet'
      to: toAddress,
      amount: amount,
      currency: currency,
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

signRippleTransaction('your-account-name', 'recipient-address', '100', 'XRP');

Replace 'your-account-name', 'recipient-address', '100', and 'XRP' with the appropriate values. The signRippleTransaction function will return an object containing the signed transaction (signedTx) and the transaction hash (transaction_hash).

Extra Notes

  • Always remember to handle errors properly in your production code.

  • This guide assumes that you're running in a Node.js environment. If you're running in a browser, you'll need to use a library like ripple-lib to sign transactions, as the browser doesn't have access to the file system to store private keys.

  • This guide uses the testnet network for demonstration purposes. When you're ready to use the mainnet, make sure to change the network parameter to 'mainnet'.

  • Ripple uses a different unit of account than Bitcoin. One XRP is equal to 1,000,000 XRP drops, so you'll need to specify the amount in XRP drops when sending a transaction.
