Creating wallets

Three types of wallets can be created:

• RPC wallet - client connected to a monero-wallet-rpc server.
• WebAssembly wallet - client-side wallet which communicates directly with a daemon.
• Keys-only wallet - client-side wallet which supports only basic key management.

RPC wallet

This example creates a client connected to monero-wallet-rpc then creates a wallet.

See MoneroWalletRpc.createWallet() for all options.

// import library
let monerojs = require("monero-javascript");

// create a client connected to monero-wallet-rpc
let walletRpc = await monerojs.connectToWalletRpc("http://localhost:38081", "superuser", "abctesting123");

// create a wallet on monero-wallet-rpc
await walletRpc.createWallet({
  path: "mywallet",
  password: "supersecretpassword",
  mnemonic: "coexist igloo pamphlet lagoon...",
  restoreHeight: 1543218
}); 

WebAssembly wallet

This example creates a wallet using WebAssembly bindings to wallet2.h.

See MoneroWalletFull.createWallet() for all options.

// import library
let monerojs = require("monero-javascript");

// create wallet using WebAssembly
let wallet = await monerojs.createWalletFull({
   path: "./test_wallets/wallet1", // leave blank for in-memory wallet
   password: "supersecretpassword",
   networkType: "stagenet",
   mnemonic: "coexist igloo pamphlet lagoon...",
   restoreHeight: 1543218,
   serverUri: "http://localhost:38081",
   serverUsername: "daemon_user",
   serverPassword: "daemon_password_123"
});

Keys-only wallet

This example creates a keys-only wallet using WebAssembly bindings to monero-project/monero.

See MoneroWalletKeys.createWallet() for all options.

// import library
let monerojs = require("monero-javascript");

// create keys-only wallet
let wallet = await monerojs.createWalletKeys({
   password: "abc123",
   networkType: MoneroNetworkType.STAGENET,
   mnemonic: "coexist igloo pamphlet lagoon..."
});
