Algorand C++ SDK

This repo is providing C++ sdk on algorand chain.

💎 Algorand SDK

📑 Specifications

The Algorand SDK provides developers with an easy way for devices to interact with Algorand chain.

We are doing our best to achieve those goals:

• C library, can be included into C++ projects.
• Can be easily imported into any project
• Examples provided:
  • Unix-based OSes
  • Windows (not completed)
• Connect to any Algorand API (local or remote provider)
• Build with CMake and Make
• Continuous Integration to maintain code quality:
  • Build static and shared library for several targets
  • Unit-Testing

At this sdk, there are some todo list to add new features:

• some bugs exists when compiling on some toolchains. (Windows, Linux and Mac OS)
• Update some actions for building tx and requesting api , which can integrate as a thirdparty plugin easily.
• add new functions to create wallet provider.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

• The current version of the SDK is still early.
• Development is ongoing and new transactions cases to be added.

🧰 Installation

This repository is intended to be used as an external component to your project such as a submodule.

# clone into a directory
git clone <url> [path]
# clone into a directory including its submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules <url> [path]
# clone as submodule into an optionally specified location
git submodule add <url> [path]

Configuration

A config file provides an easy way to configure the SDK: include/vertices_config.h. The file is fully documented.

Compilation

CMake is currently used to build the library and examples (GNU Make and Visual Studio Make is on the roadmap).

CMake

In order to build the source using CMake in a separate directory (recommended), just enter at the command line:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..

# build static library: lib/libvertices.a
make vertices

# build Unix example
make unix_example

Make

👎 Soon.

🚀 Getting started

👉 More to come about how to import the package into your build system.

💡 This Algorand SDK is providing examples with various major SDKs. You can probably copy-paste our source code into your project 🙂.

Examples

Full documentation is available at docs.vertices.network.

📐 Tests

Make sure you have cpputest installed:

• Linux - sudo apt-get install cpputest lcov
• OSX - brew install cpputest lcov

From /tests you will be able to launch the unique command to run all the tests:

make all
