Apillon SDK

Libraries and tools for interacting with your Apillon integration. Apillon SDK reduces the amount of work required to use Apillons REST API. It reduces the boilerplate code you need to write as well as compresses multi step flows into single operations.

Requirements

• npm 10.0.0 or higher
• node.js 20.0.0 or higher
• Apillon API key and secret

Getting started

To be able to use Apillon SDK, you must register an account at Apillon.io, create a project and generate an API key with appropriate permissions.

SDK package is available on NPM and you can also check it out directly on GitHub.

Installation

npm install @apillon/sdk
Copy

Initialization

import { Hosting } from '@apillon/sdk';

const hosting = new Hosting({
  key: '',
  secret: '',
});
Copy

Apillon SDK consists of different modules depending on which service you want to use. All modules require the same initial config of key and secret shown above in Hosting module example.

Alternatively, you can populate the APILLON_API_KEY and APILLON_API_SECRET environment variables.

View each individual module examples in the sections below.

Detailed docs

This wiki only contains the basic installation and examples of SDK usage. For additional information on using the SDK, see the Detailed SDK documentation.

Examples

Examples for using Apillon can be found in a demo repo here. Instructions on running the examples are in the README file.

You can run examples directly in your browser via CodeSandbox.

Hosting

Hosting module encapsulates functionalities for Hosting service available on Apillon dashboard.

Note: You can only create a new webpage through the dashboard hosting service.

The flow of deploying a new website looks like this:

1. Upload new website files
2. Trigger deploy to staging
3. Trigger deploy from staging to production

You can also directly deploy uploaded files to production.

For detailed hosting SDK method, class and property documentation visit SDK hosting docs.

Usage example

import {
  DeployToEnvironment,
  DeploymentStatus,
  Hosting,
  LogLevel,
} from '@apillon/sdk';
import * as fs from 'fs';

const hosting = new Hosting({
  key: 'yourApiKey',
  secret: 'yourApiSecret',
  logLevel: LogLevel.VERBOSE,
});

// list all websites
await hosting.listWebsites({ orderBy: 'createTime' });

// create an instance of a website via uuid
const webpage1 = hosting.website('uuid');

// gets website information
await webpage1.get();

// Upload files from local folder
await webpage1.uploadFromFolder('./public');
// Or alternatively, send file buffers as upload parameters
const htmlBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./public/index.html');
await webpage1.uploadFiles(
  [
    {
      fileName: 'index.html',
      contentType: 'text/html',
      content: htmlBuffer,
    },
  ]
);

// deploys uploaded files to staging environment
await webpage1.deploy(DeployToEnvironment.TO_STAGING);

// lists all deployments of a website
await webpage1.listDeployments();

// gets a specific deployment
const deployment = await webpage1
  .deployment('3e0c66ea-317d-4e1f-bcd9-38026c3ea1ee')
  .get();

// checks if deployment was successful
if (deployment.deploymentStatus === DeploymentStatus.SUCCESSFUL) {
  // done
}
Copy

Storage

Storage module encapsulates functionalities for Storage service available on Apillon dashboard.

For detailed storage SDK method, class and property documentation visit SDK storage docs.

Usage example

import { Storage, LogLevel, FileStatus } from '@apillon/sdk';
import * as fs from 'fs';

const storage = new Storage({
  key: 'yourApiKey',
  secret: 'yourApiSecret',
  logLevel: LogLevel.VERBOSE,
});

// list buckets
await storage.listBuckets({ limit: 5 });

// create and instance of a bucket directly through uuid
const bucket = storage.bucket('uuid');

// Upload files from local folder
await bucket.uploadFromFolder('./my-folder/files/');
// Or alternatively, send file buffers as upload parameters
const pdfBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./my-folder/files/document.pdf');
await bucket.uploadFiles(
  [
    {
      fileName: 'document.pdf',
      contentType: 'application/pdf',
      content: pdfBuffer,
    },
  ],
  // Upload the files in a new subdirectory in the bucket instead of in the root of the bucket
  { wrapWithDirectory: true, directoryPath: 'main/documents' }
);

// list objects (files, folders) in a bucket
await bucket.listObjects({
  directoryUuid: 'eaff2672-3012-46fb-9278-5efacc6cb616',
  markedForDeletion: false,
  limit: 5,
});

// list all files in a bucket no matter if they are in a folder or not
await bucket.listFiles({ fileStatus: FileStatus.UPLOADED });

// generate an IPFS link for a CID
const cid = 'bafybeigjhyc2tpvqfqsuvf3byo4e4a4v6spi6jk4qqvvtlpca6rsaf2cqi';
const link = await storage.generateIpfsLink(cid);

// gets a specific file in a bucket directly through uuid
const file = await bucket.file('2195521d-15cc-4f6e-abf2-13866f9c6e03').get();

// deletes a file via uuid
await bucket.file('2195521d-15cc-4f6e-abf2-13866f9c6e03').delete();
// deletes a directory via uuid
await bucket.directory('eddc52cf-92d2-436e-b6de-42d7cad621c3').delete();

NFTs

NFT module encapsulates functionalities for NFT service available on Apillon dashboard.

For detailed NFT SDK method, class and property documentation visit SDK NFT docs.

Warning When you transfer ownership of the collection to another account Apillon will lose the ability to perform actions in your name (mint, burn, etc.). Before you transfer ownership make sure you do not need those functionalities via Apillon anymore.

Usage example

import {
  CollectionType,
  EvmChain,
  LogLevel,
  Nft,
  TransactionStatus,
} from '@apillon/sdk';

const nft = new Nft({
  key: 'yourApiKey',
  secret: 'yourApiSecret',
  logLevel: LogLevel.VERBOSE,
});

// create a new collection
let collection = await nft.create({
  collectionType: CollectionType.GENERIC,
  chain: EvmChain.MOONBEAM,
  name: 'SpaceExplorers',
  symbol: 'SE',
  description: 'A collection of unique space exploration NFTs.',
  baseUri: 'https://moonbeamnfts.com/collections/spaceexplorers/',
  baseExtension: 'json',
  // If you omit the maxSupply parameter, the max supply will be unlimited
  maxSupply: 1000,
  isRevokable: false,
  isSoulbound: false,
  royaltiesAddress: '0x1234567890abcdef',
  royaltiesFees: 5,
  drop: true,
  dropStart: 1679875200,
  dropPrice: 0.05,
  dropReserve: 100,
});
// or create a substrate collection
const substrateCollection = await nft.createSubstrate({
  collectionType: CollectionType.GENERIC,
  chain: SubstrateChain.ASTAR,
  name: 'SpaceExplorers',
  symbol: 'SE',
  ...
});

// check if collection is deployed - available on chain
if (collection.collectionStatus == CollectionStatus.DEPLOYED) {
  console.log('Collection deployed: ', collection.transactionHash);
}

// search through collections
await nft.listCollections({ search: 'My NFT' });

// create and instance of collection directly through uuid
collection = await nft.collection('uuid').get();

// mint a new nft in the collection
await collection.mint({
  receivingAddress: '0x3fC91A3afd70395Cd496C647d5a6CC9D4B2b7FAD',
  quantity: 1,
});

// nest mint a new nft if collection type is NESTABLE
await collection.nestMint(collection.uuid, 1, 1);

// burn/destroy a specific NFT by its ID if collection is set as revokable
await collection.burn('1');

// list confirmed transactions on a collection
await collection.listTransactions({
  transactionStatus: TransactionStatus.CONFIRMED,
});

// transfer ownership of a collection away from apillon platform to an address
// NOTE that this will disable the ability to mint/burn etc. from the SDK/API since only the owner
// has this ability
await collection.transferOwnership(
  '0x5BA8B0c24bA5307b67E619ad500a635204F73bF1'
);

Identity

Identity module encapsulates functionalities for validating EVM and Polkadot wallet signatures, as well as fetching Polkadot Identity data for any wallet.

For detailed hosting SDK method, class and property documentation visit SDK identity docs.

Usage example

import { Identity, LogLevel } from '@apillon/sdk';

// Note: for signature-related methods API config is not required
const identity = new Identity({
  key: 'yourApiKey',
  secret: 'yourApiSecret',
  logLevel: LogLevel.VERBOSE,
});

// obtain on-chain identity data for a Polkadot wallet
const { polkadot, subsocial } = await identity.getWalletIdentity(address);

async function validateEvmWalletSignature() {
  // generate a custom message to be signed by the user's wallet
  const { message, timestamp } = await identity.generateSigningMessage(
    'Custom display message here',
  );

  // alternatively, you can generate you own signing message with timestamp like this:
  // const timestamp = new Date().getTime();
  // const message = 'Message from my Dapp';
  // const signingMessage = `${message}\n${timestamp}`;

  const walletAddress = '0xa79bg13g2...';

  // validate an EVM wallet's signature for a given message
  const { isValid, address } = await identity.validateEvmWalletSignature({
    message,
    signature, // signature obtained from the user's wallet by the client app
    walletAddress,
    /*
     * optional - check signature time validity by providing a timestamp
     * which indicates when the signature was generated
     */
    timestamp,
    // additionally, specify for how many minutes the timestamp is valid
    signatureValidityMinutes: 15,
  });

  console.log(isValid); // true
  console.log(address.toLowerCase() === walletAddress.toLowerCase()); // true
}

async function validatePolkadotWalletSignature() {
  // If you wish to generate the message yourself and validate the timestamp,
  // use a signing message as shown below:
  const timestamp = new Date().getTime();
  const message = 'Message from my Dapp';
  const signingMessage = `${message}\n${timestamp}`;

  // validate a Polkadot wallet's signature for a given signing message
  const { isValid } = await identity.validatePolkadotWalletSignature({
    message: signingMessage,
    signature, // signature obtained from the user's wallet by the client app
    walletAddress: '5HqHQDGcHqS...',
    timestamp,
    signatureValidityMinutes: 5,
  });
}

});

// Interact with a specific computing contract
const contract = computing.contract(newContract.uuid);

// Get details of the contract
const contractDetails = await contract.get();

// List transactions of the contract
const transactions = await contract.listTransactions();

// Encrypt a file and upload it to the associated bucket
const encryptionResult = await contract.encryptFile({
  fileName: 'example.txt',
  content: Buffer.from('Hello, world!'),
  nftId: 1, // NFT ID used for decryption authentication
});

// Transfer ownership of the contract
const newOwnerAddress = '0xNewOwnerAddress';
const successResult = await contract.transferOwnership(newOwnerAddress);
console.log(
  `Ownership transfer was ${successResult ? 'successful' : 'unsuccessful'}.`,
);
