JS SDK: Use wallet providing password

hernandp · March 1, 2021, 3:00pm

Hello algoranders, I would like to know how to use a wallet with name X and password Z from the Javascript SDK, just like when you call goal with -w parameter and provide the unlock password.
The JS examples in the SDK require to enter the mnemonic to regenerate the wallet from scratch.

Besides this, is any master SDK API page reference or I shall use the Developer Docs section for each feature ?

Thank you!!!

To access the tokens stored on goal wallets, you need to create a kmd client:

github.com

algorand/js-algorand-sdk/blob/master/src/client/kmd.js

const { Buffer } = require('buffer');
const client = require('./client');
const txn = require("../transaction");

function Kmd(token, baseServer = "http://127.0.0.1", port = 7833) {
    // Get client
    let c = new client.HTTPClient({'X-KMD-API-Token':token}, baseServer, port);

    /**
     * version returns a VersionResponse containing a list of kmd API versions supported by this running kmd instance.
     * @returns {Promise<*>}
     */
    this.versions = async function () {
        let res = await c.get("/versions");
        return res.body;
    };

    /**
     * listWallets returns a ListWalletsResponse containing the list of wallets known to kmd. Using a wallet ID
     * returned from this endpoint, you can initialize a wallet handle with client.InitWalletHandle

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a website with full JS documentation, but each function in the JS SDK is documented.
