Creating Accounts and Setup

Before we get into the heart of the matter, lets setup a few wallets.

Creating wallets

Let's add some wallet creation logic. We might as well create two wallets for some fun.

  console.log('lets fund 2 accounts...')
  const { wallet: wallet1, balance: balance1 } = await client.fundWallet()
  const { wallet: wallet2, balance: balance2 } = await client.fundWallet()
  
  console.log('wallet1', wallet1)
  console.log('wallet2', wallet2)
  
  console.log({ 
      balance1, 
      address1: wallet1.address, //wallet1.seed
      balance2, 
      address2: wallet2.address 
  })

At this point, we should have two wallets with balances of 100 XRP.

We will save these in a more convenient way to reuse them as we progress through this tutorial.

Collect the seed values from the logs for both accounts, and let's create wallets from those seeds from now on. We'll need an issuer and a receiver so here we go:

First, we set the seed in the code

const issuerSeed = "s...";
const receiverSeed = "s...";

Then we create issuer and receiver wallets from the seeds in the main function as follows:

  const issuer = Wallet.fromSeed(issuerSeed);
  const receiver = Wallet.fromSeed(receiverSeed);

Putting it all together we have the following

index.ts

import {  Client,  Wallet }  from "xrpl" 

const client = new Client("wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233")

const issuerSeed = "s...";
const receiverSeed = "s...";

const issuer = Wallet.fromSeed(issuerSeed);
const receiver = Wallet.fromSeed(receiverSeed);

const main = async () => {
  console.log("lets get started...");
  await client.connect();

  // do something interesting here
  

  await client.disconnect();
  console.log("all done!");
};

main();
