Getting Started

This is the first section of a step-by-step guide so you can start using Griptape in your application.

Introduction
Griptape is a framework for developing decentralized web applications in Secret Network. Griptape will take care mostly of what all of the applications has in common, in an opinionated and structured way. Here is a summary of some of the main features of Griptape:
Connect a regular web application to the blockchain
Interact with deployed contracts on Secret Network
Define architecture for your application
Handle Viewing Keys and Permits to access private state on a contract
Rapidly interact with SNIP-20 and SNIP-721 compliant contracts
Now that you understand the domain of Griptape, then let's start learning about how to use it.
Installation and Setup
Griptape.js can work along any front-end UI library out there. Therefore, the first step is to set up an application in which you can then install Griptape.js. Examples of libraries are:
​Vue.js​
​React.js​
Once you have a front-end application ready, install Griptape.js by running one of the following:
# Using yarn
yarn add @stakeordie/griptape.js
​
# or npm
npm install @stakeordie/griptape.js
Grip an app
A gripped application is a term we use to describe an application whose bootstrap process is handled by Griptape. Grip your app by adding this to your main entry point file (commonly main.js or index.js):
import {
  gripApp,
  getKeplrAccountProvider
} from '@stakeordie/griptape.js';
​
const restUrl = 'https://api.stakeordie.com';
const provider = getKeplrAccountProvider();
function runApp() {
  // Bootstrap your app here!
}
​
gripApp(restUrl, provider, runApp);
runApp is a function able to bootstrap your front-end application, e.g. for Vue.js the implementation looks like this:
function runApp() {
  createApp(App).mount('#app');
}
Or in React, like this:
function runApp() {
  ReactDOM.render(
    <React.StrictMode>
      <App />
    </React.StrictMode>,
    document.getElementById('root')
  );
}
Now you are ready! You can start developing your dApp.
Grip an app with a config object
In the same index.js file you can also add a config object that is used to set custom fees, for this you need to create a config object and inside it, add the restUrl and defaultFees object.
Then use the config as a parameter to the  gripApp function.
import {
  gripApp,
  getKeplrAccountProvider
} from '@stakeordie/griptape.js';
​
const config = {
  restUrl: 'https://api.pulsar.griptapejs.com',
  defaultFees: {
    upload: 500000,
    init: 100000,
    exec: 200000,
    send: 100000
  }
};
​
const provider = getKeplrAccountProvider();
function runApp() {
  // Bootstrap your app here!
}
​
gripApp(config, provider, runApp);
