Initializing the SDK

Overall Flow

  1. Generate a device ID by calling the generateDeviceId() static method of the SDK.
  2. Assign the deviceId to a wallet on your backend server. (POST /v1/wallets/ can be executed at this point.)
  3. Initialize a new SDK instance.

Initialize the SDK

Generate a deviceId. This value is unique per SDK instance.

Each non-custodial wallet (NCW) walletId correlates to a single deviceId:

// generate a device Id, do it only once per SDK instance

const deviceId = FireblocksNCW.generateDeviceId()
// generate a device ID, do it only once per SDK instance

val deviceId = Fireblocks.generateDeviceId();
// generate a device Id, do it only once per SDK instance

let deviceId = Fireblocks.generateDeviceId()

Create an SDK instance

When creating a new SDK instance, provide the NCW instance with the following parameters:

Example

import { FireblocksNCW, IEventsHandler, IMessagesHandler, TEvent, InMemorySecureStorageProvider } from "@fireblocks/ncw-js-sdk";

// Initiate secure storage to hold generated data during SDK usage.
const secureStorageProvider = new InMemorySecureStorageProvider();

// Register a message handler to process outgoing message to your API
const messagesHandler: IMessagesHandler = {
  handleOutgoingMessage: (message: string) => {
    // Send the message to your API service
  },
};

// Register an events handler to handle on various events that the SDK emitts
const eventsHandler: IEventsHandler = {
  handleEvent: (event: TEvent) => {
    if (event.type === 'key_descriptor_changed') {
      // Do something when the event is fired.
    }
  },
};

// Initialize Fireblocks NCW SDK
const fireblocksNCW = await FireblocksNCW.initialize(
  deviceId,
  messagesHandler,
  eventsHandler,
  secureStorageProvider,
);
// create your own implementation of the FireblocksMessageHandler
val fireblocksMessageHandler = FireblocksMessageHandlerImpl()

// create your own implementation of the FireblocksKeyStorage
val fireblocksKeyStorage = FireblocksKeyStorageImpl()

// build your FireblocksOptions instance
 val fireblocksOptions = FireblocksOptions.Builder()
     .setLogLevel(Level.INFO)
     .setEventHandler(object : FireblocksEventHandler {
override fun onEvent(event: Event) {
                    Timber.d("onEvent - $event")
                    fireEvent(event)
                }
            })
 .setEnv(Environment.DEFAULT)
 .build()

// initialize the SDK
val fireblocksSdk = Fireblocks.initialize(
            context = applicationContext,
            deviceId = deviceId);
            messageHandler = fireblocksMessageHandler,
		 keyStorage = fireblocksKeyStorage,
 fireblocksOptions = fireblocksOptions);

// Once initialized you can fetch it by deviceId
val fireblocksSdk = Fireblocks.getInstance(deviceId)
// Build your FireblocksOptions instance and pass an optional delegate that conforms to EventHandlerDelegate protocol
let fireblocksOptions = FireblocksOptions(env: .sandbox, eventHandlerDelegate: self)

// Generate an instance and pass two mandatory delegates that conform to MessageHandlerDelegate and KeyStorageDelegate
let instance = try Fireblocks.initialize(deviceId: deviceId, messageHandlerDelegate: self, keyStorageDelegate: keyStorageProvider, fireblocksOptions: fireblocksOptions)

// Once the SDK is initialized you can also get it by using the getInstance command 
let instance = try Fireblocks.getInstance(deviceId: deviceId)
