algosms

AlgoSMS SDK is the official JavaScript implementation of ARC-0015 - Algorand Standard for Encrypted Short Messages.

Installation

Node.js

$ npm install algosms

This package provides TypeScript types, but you will need TypeScript version 4.2 or higher to use them properly.

Quick Start

sending encrypted message to an Algo Address

  import algosdk from 'algosdk';
  import {
    ALGOSMSV0_MESSAGE,
    ALGOSMSV0_TYPE_MSG,
    sendAlgoSMS,
  } from 'algosms';

  const addrRcpt = 'FCN6PO...6ACYXM';
  const accSender = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey('empty ... logic');

  const msg:ALGOSMSV0_MESSAGE = {
    t: ALGOSMSV0_TYPE_MSG,
    msg: 'A new standard definition is waiting for your comment.',
    from: 'ChainSMS ARCs department',
    uri: 'chainsms.xyz/arcs',
    meta: JSON.stringify({ Algorand: 'rocks!' }),
    ref: 'ARC-0015',
  };
  
  (async () => {
    /* encrypt the msg, sign and send it over the network */ 
    /* keep in mind the account has to have at least (10+1) times the network fee worth of Algos */
    const txnId = await sendAlgoSMS(client, msg, accRcpt.addr, accSender);
  })().catch(e => {
    console.error(e);
  });

  

decrypting a message from a transaction

  import algosdk from 'algosdk';
  import { unsealMessageFromNote } from 'algosms';

  //instantiate the account of recipient 
  const accRcpt = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey('flash ... today');;

  /* get the TXN with encrypted note from indexer */
  const txn = await indexerClient.lookupTransactionByID(SmsTXID).do();

  /* convert base64 to bytes */
  const note = Buffer.from(txn.transaction.note, 'base64');
  const senderAddr = txn.transaction.sender;
 
  /* decrypt the note with recipient secret key */
  const msg = unsealMessageFromNote(note, senderAddr, accRcpt);

Examples

SDK contains offnet.ts and onnet.ts examples.
