What is Lisk Elements

Lisk Elements is a collection of libraries, each of them implementing some form of blockchain application functionality such as cryptography, transactions, p2p, etc. Each library is designed to be compatible with the Lisk Protocol.

Lisk Elements supports the modular architecture of the Lisk SDK, where libraries can be created or modified to suit individual blockchain application requirements.

Packages

Package Version Description
lisk-elements Package contains everything
@liskhq/lisk-client A default set of Elements for use by clients of the Lisk network
@liskhq/lisk-api-client An API client for the Lisk network
@liskhq/lisk-constants General constants for use with Lisk-related software
@liskhq/lisk-cryptography General cryptographic functions for use with Lisk-related software
@liskhq/lisk-passphrase Mnemonic passphrase helpers for use with Lisk-related software
@liskhq/lisk-transactions Everything related to transactions according to the Lisk protocol
@liskhq/lisk-transaction-pool Transaction pool implementation for the Lisk network
@liskhq/lisk-p2p unstructured P2P library for the Lisk protocol

Installation

If you want to install all elements as dependency of your project you can install it via.

$ npm install --save lisk-elements

Or you can install individual packages what you need e.g.

$ npm install --save @liskhq/lisk-transactions
$ npm install --save @liskhq/lisk-cryptography

Usage

Access functionality via the relevant namespace. For example, the following will create and (locally) sign a transfer (type 0) transaction, and then broadcast it to the Lisk Testnet.

const { APIClient, transaction } = require('lisk-elements');

const transferTransaction = lisk.transaction.transfer({
	amount: '123000000',
	recipientId: '12668885769632475474L',
	passphrase:
		'robust swift grocery peasant forget share enable convince deputy road keep cheap',
});

const client = APIClient.createTestnetAPIClient();

client.transactions
	.broadcast(transferTransaction)
	.then(console.info)
	.catch(console.error);

Full documentation can be found on the [Lisk documentation site][].
