Installation

Let's install Dedot to your project and start connecting to blockchain networks

Install dedot package

Dedot provides an umbrella package named dedot, it's the only package you need to install to access to most of the primitives & APIs when you're working with Dedot.

npm

npm i dedot

yarn

yarn add dedot

pnpm

pnpm add dedot

Enable auto-completion/IntelliSense

Each Substrate-based blockchain has their own set of Data Types & APIs to interact with, so being aware of those Types & APIs when working with a blockchain will greatly improve the overall development experience. Dedot exposes TypeScript's Types & APIs for each individual Substrate-based blockchain via ChainApi interfaces, we recommend using TypeScript for your project to have the best experience.

Types & APIs for each known Substrate-based blockchains are defined in package @dedot/chaintypes

npm

npm i -D @dedot/chaintypes

yarn

yarn add -D @dedot/chaintypes

pnpm

pnpm add -D @dedot/chaintypes

Make sure to install @dedot/chaintypes as a dev dependency.
