drift-examples

Examples here are written using bun 1.1.9. If you are using node, the recommended version is v20.18.0. And use @drift-labs/sdk. If you are using the drift sdk in browser environment, it's recommended to use @drift-labs/sdk-browser instead.

Use Node Version Manager

Install NVM if you haven't already:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash`

Install compatible Node version:

nvm install 20.18.0`
nvm use`

Verify the installation:

node --version

Install dependencies:

bun install

All examples require the following environment variables:

• PRIVATE_KEY: The private key of the account to use, can be:
  • numbers array (from solana-keygen new)
  • base58 encoded private key (phantom exported private key)
  • a file to any of the above. To generate a compatible private key file, run the 0_generate_private_key.ts script:

    bun run examples/0_generate_private_key.ts

    This will create a private-key.json file in the root of this project (e.g., sdk-examples/private-key.json). You should then set your PRIVATE_KEY environment variable to this path, for example, in your .env file: PRIVATE_KEY=./private-key.json
• RPC_URL: The RPC URL of the network to use for the example, you need a proper one
  • https://helius.xyz/
  • https://www.triton.one/

Run Examples

Each file under examples/ is an example, start with:

bun run example/1_init_user.ts
