What is StellarBurrito?
StellarBurrito is a package available on npm.
This package’s aim is to simplify the use of stellar-sdk thanks simplified calls to the core library.
This project is open source and opens to PR so if you want to help take a look at the GitHub project!
This tutorial works on test-net, currently this library isn’t suitable for production use.
Let’s start
First of all, we need to create the project
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop$ mkdir Medium-Pay
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop$ cd Medium-Pay/
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop/Medium-Pay$ touch index.js
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop/Medium-Pay$ npm init
Then install stellar burrito package from npm
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop/Medium-Pay$ npm i stellarburrito --save
Now our project should be initialized properly!
Do you already have two accounts for making this payment? If you don’t have these follow this tutorial.
Let’s start coding!
First of all, we need to import stellar burrito in our project
Now we need 2 accounts for this payment:
Alice: the sender of our payment.
Bob: the receiver of the payment.
We need Alice’s Private Key for signing the transaction and Bob Public Key as the receiver address.
Almost Done!
Now let’s call and handle the response of Pay function, passing
sender (Alice’s Private Key)
receiver (Bob’s Public Key)
amount (in this case 10 XLM)
as shown here
So your code should look like this
Let’s try!
chinaski@XPS:~/Desktop/Medium-Pay$ node index.js
The result
Payment Processed!
4f9831f620cc72551e578bfccc695c952ec25cb667e131f4c53ebe84327923c0
You can verify the transaction simply copying the printed hash and pasting it on stellar.expert
That’s it!
Thanks for your attention!
