Installation

You can use nns-js by installing it in your project.

npm i @dfinity/nns

The bundle needs peer dependencies, be sure that following resources are available in your project as well.

npm i @dfinity/agent @dfinity/candid @dfinity/principal @dfinity/utils

Usage

Most features are provided through the use of classes. For example, querying the list of neurons controlled by the caller with the governance canister:

import { GovernanceCanister } from "@dfinity/nns";
import { createAgent } from "@dfinity/utils";

const agent = await createAgent({
  identity,
  host: HOST,
});

const { listNeurons } = GovernanceCanister.create({
  agent,
  canisterId: MY_GOVERNANCE_CANISTER_ID,
});

const myNeurons = await listNeurons({ certified: false });

To execute this on a local environment, you will need to fetch the root key when initializing the agent. Additionally, you might need to adapt the port. The following snippet also demonstrates how you can inline a canister ID as well.

import { GovernanceCanister } from "@dfinity/nns";
import { Principal } from "@dfinity/principal";
import { createAgent } from "@dfinity/utils";

const agent = await createAgent({
  identity,
  host: "http://localhost:8000",
  fetchRootKey: true,
});

const { listNeurons } = GovernanceCanister.create({
  agent,
  canisterId: Principal.fromText("rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai"),
});

const myNeurons = await listNeurons({ certified: false });

Features

nns-js implements following features:

🧰 Functions

• ineligibleNeurons
• votableNeurons
• votedNeurons
• memoToNeuronSubaccount
• memoToNeuronAccountIdentifier

⚙️ ineligibleNeurons

Filter the neurons that are ineligible to vote to a proposal.

This feature needs the ballots of the proposal to contains accurate data. If the proposal has settled, as the ballots of the proposal are emptied for archive purpose, the function might return a list of ineligible neurons that are actually neurons that have not voted but would have been eligible.

Long story short, check the status of the proposal before using this function.

Function	Type
ineligibleNeurons	({ neurons, proposal, }: { neurons: NeuronInfo[]; proposal: ProposalInfo; }) => NeuronInfo[]

Parameters:

• params.neurons: The neurons to filter.
• params.proposal: The proposal to match against the selected neurons.

⚙️ votableNeurons

Filter the neurons that can vote for a proposal - i.e. the neurons that have not voted yet and are eligible

Function	Type
votableNeurons	({ neurons, proposal, }: { neurons: NeuronInfo[]; proposal: ProposalInfo; }) => NeuronInfo[]

Parameters:

• params.neurons: The neurons to filter.
• params.proposal: The proposal to match against the selected neurons.

🔗 Source

⚙️ votedNeurons

Filter the neurons that have voted for a proposal.

Function	Type
votedNeurons	({ neurons, proposal, }: { neurons: NeuronInfo[]; proposal: ProposalInfo; }) => NeuronInfo[]

Parameters:

• params.neurons: The neurons to filter.
• params.proposal: The proposal for which some neurons might have already voted.

⚙️ listNeurons

Returns the list of neurons controlled by the caller.

If an array of neuron IDs is provided, precisely those neurons will be fetched.

If certified is true, the request is fetched as an update call, otherwise it is fetched using a query call.

The backend treats includeEmptyNeurons as false if absent.

The response from the canister might be paginated. In this case, all pages will be fetched in parallel and combined into a single return value.

Method	Type
listNeurons	({ certified, neuronIds, includeEmptyNeurons, includePublicNeurons, neuronSubaccounts, }: { certified: boolean; neuronIds?: bigint[] or undefined; includeEmptyNeurons?: boolean or undefined; includePublicNeurons?: boolean or undefined; neuronSubaccounts?: NeuronSubaccount[] or undefined; }) => Promise<...>
