NEX Extension: Alpha Release (v0.1.0)

A NEO wallet and chrome extension that will allow users to interact with decentralized applications on the blockchain through the world wide web.

NOTE: Alpha release is for developers only. We will be doing a release for the general public on March 12th.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Google Chrome Browser

Installing

After cloning or downloading this repo, please open your google chrome browser and go to the extension page found here:

chrome://extensions/

Next, click on the Developer mode checkbox in the top bar. You will then click Load unpacked extensions and select the NEXExtension folder from this repo; this will install the NEX extension for you in developer mode.

You are now ready to create an account, use the extension as a web wallet, and start building your website for users to interact with your dapp through the NEX extension.

NEX Extension Client

To make it easy to interact with the NEX Extension, we have started the process of creating a client library that you can use to pass messages from your site to the extension. The client library is available as a file located in the NEXExtensionClient folder included with this repo. This early version of the client has the following 2 methods, which may be called as described below:

const nexExtApi = new NEXExtensionClient()

// Start a transaction
nexExtApi.startTx({
  amount: '1.5',
  symbol: 'GAS',
  toAddr: 'AWmzT3dqJDTucBmv4X7TXNsbqQMioMGt6L'
})

// Open receive modal
nexExtApi.openReceive()
