Quick Start

Get started with WAX in your preferred language

Choose your platform and install WAX using your package manager. ```bash npm theme={null} npm install @hiveio/wax ``` ```bash yarn theme={null} yarn add @hiveio/wax ``` ```bash pnpm theme={null} pnpm add @hiveio/wax ``` ```bash theme={null} pip install hiveio-wax ``` Create a WAX instance for offline operations or connect to the Hive network. ```typescript theme={null} import { createWaxFoundation, createHiveChain } from '@hiveio/wax'; // For offline operations (transaction building, signing) const wax = await createWaxFoundation(); // For online operations (API calls, broadcasting) const chain = await createHiveChain(); ``` ```python theme={null} from wax import create_wax_foundation, create_hive_chain # For offline operations (transaction building, signing) wax = create_wax_foundation() # For online operations (API calls, broadcasting) chain = create_hive_chain() ``` Create a transaction, add operations, and sign it with your preferred signing provider. ```typescript theme={null} // Create a transaction const tx = await wax.createTransaction(); // Add operations tx.pushOperation({ vote: { voter: "alice", author: "bob", permlink: "example-post", weight: 10000 } }); // Sign and broadcast await tx.sign(wallet, publicKey); await chain.broadcast(tx.transaction); ``` ```python theme={null} # Create a transaction tx = wax.create_transaction() # Add operations tx.push_operation({ "vote": { "voter": "alice", "author": "bob", "permlink": "example-post", "weight": 10000 } }) # Sign and broadcast await tx.sign(wallet, public_key) await chain.broadcast(tx.transaction) ```
