    • Core library. Definition base class.
• other language:
  • WebAssembly : cfd-js-wasm

  • C# : cfd-csharp
  • Go : cfd-go
  • Rust : cfd-rust

• C/C++ Compiler   - can compile c++11
• CMake (3.14.3 or higher)
• node.js (stable version)
• Python 3.x
  • for building libwally-core js wrapper

download and install files.

• node.js (by npm v7 or higher, or yarn.)
• Python 3.x
• CMake (3.14.3 or higher)
• MSVC
  • Visual Studio (Verified version is 2017 or higher)
  • Build Tools for Visual Studio (2017 or higher)
  • (Using only) msvc redistribution package

• Homebrew

# xcode cli tools
xcode-select --install

# install dependencies using Homebrew
brew install cmake python node

# install dependencies using APT package Manager
apt-get install -y build-essential cmake python nodejs

cmake version 3.14.2 or lower, download from website and install cmake. (https://cmake.org/download/)

Add cfd-js github on caller app's package.json.

ex)

  "cfd-js": "cryptogarageinc/cfd-js#semver:^0.1.3",

If you use old npm or yarn, describe as follows.

ex)

  "cfd-js": "git+https://github.com/cryptogarageinc/cfd-js#semver:^0.1.3",

When npm is installed, the cfd-js build is executed.

cfd-js uses the N-API. Therefore, the same binary can be used for both node.js and electron.

When using the cmake-js package and npm script, the options for compilation are already set.

npm install
npm run cmake_release_parallel

npm run test

npm run example

npm run elements_example

• cfd
  • cfd-core
    • libwally-core (forked from ElementsProject/libwally-core)
    • univalue (for JSON encoding and decoding)

• clang-format (using v10.0.0)
• eslint

• cpplint
• eslint

• Not Implemented yet

• Visual Studio (2017 or higher)
• Clang (7.x or higher)
• GCC (contains MinGW) (5.x or higher)

Git repository connections default to HTTPS. However, depending on the connection settings of GitHub, you may only be able to connect via SSH. As a countermeasure, forcibly establish SSH connection by setting CFD_CMAKE_GIT_SSH=1 in the environment variable.

• Windows: (On the command line. Or set from the system setting screen.)

  set CFD_CMAKE_GIT_SSH=1

• MacOS & Linux(Ubuntu):

  export CFD_CMAKE_GIT_SSH=1

If the shared library you downloaded cannot be referenced and the build fails, do a full build without downloading the shared library. Prevents the download of the shared library by setting CFDJS_UNUSE_ASSET=1 in the environment variable.

• Windows: (On the command line. Or set from the system setting screen.)

  set CFDJS_UNUSE_ASSET=1

• MacOS & Linux(Ubuntu):

  export CFDJS_UNUSE_ASSET=1

Depending on your git environment, you may get the following error when checking out external:

  Performing update step for 'libwally-core-download'
  Current branch cmake_build is up to date.
  No stash entries found.
  No stash entries found.
  No stash entries found.
  CMake Error at /workspace/cfd-core/build/external/libwally-core/download/libwally-core-download-prefix/tmp/libwally-core-download-gitupdate.cmake:133 (message):


    Failed to unstash changes in:
    '/workspace/cfd-core/external/libwally-core/'.

    You will have to resolve the conflicts manually

This phenomenon is due to the git update related command. Please set an environment variable that skips update processing.

• Windows: (On the command line. Or set from the system setting screen.)

  set CFD_CMAKE_GIT_SKIP_UPDATE=1

• MacOS & Linux(Ubuntu):

  export CFD_CMAKE_GIT_SKIP_UPDATE=1

Errors may occur during processing of CMake External project on Windows. This is a problem with the Windows environment, but you can work around it by using npm v7. If npm is less than v7, please try to cleanup&build after running the following command:

npm i -g npm@7

This error may occur on the Alpine Linux. The cause is that the related library can not referenced. Please add the installation location to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./node_modules/cfd-js/build/Release:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

The cfd-js is using prebuild-install & own downloading asset. If you want to build directly from source code, you can do so by setting environment variables as follows:

• Windows: (On the command line. Or set from the system setting screen.)

  set npm_config_build_from_source=true
  set CFDJS_UNUSE_ASSET=1

• MacOS & Linux(Ubuntu):

  export npm_config_build_from_source=true
  export CFDJS_UNUSE_ASSET=1
