Irys Bundler SDK

The Irys Bundler SDK is a typesafe SDK for uploading data to the Irys network.

What is Irys?

Irys is the first L1 programmable datachain, designed to optimize data storage and execution. By combining storage and execution, it significantly increases the usefulness of blockspace, enabling a wider range of web services to come onchain that aren’t possible right now.

Irys empowers developers to create and innovate like never before. With Irys, builders can eliminate dependencies, integrate efficient onchain data, and unlock new possibilities for dynamic, real-time applications—all within a unified platform.

This SDK is for uploading data only.

Irys SDK Quickstart

Installing

Install using npm:

npm install @irys-network/bundler-client

If you get a warning saying bigint: Failed to load bindings, pure JS will be used (try npm run rebuild?) during install, it can be safely ignored.

Importing

import Irys from "@irys-network/bundler-client";

Connecting to Irys

Connect using a private key linked to an EVM or Solana wallet:

const getIrys = async () => {
	const network = "testnet";
	// RPC URLs change often, use a recent one from https://chainlist.org/
	const providerUrl = "";
	const token = "ethereum";

	const irys = new Irys({
		network, 
		token, // Token used for payment
		key: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, // ETH or SOL private key
		config: { providerUrl }, // RPC provider URL, required on testnet
	});
	return irys;
};

Funding Irys

Fund your account on the Irys network using any of our supported tokens:

const fundNode = async () => {
	const irys = await getIrys();
	try {
		const fundTx = await irys.fund(irys.utils.toAtomic(0.05));
		console.log(`Successfully funded ${irys.utils.fromAtomic(fundTx.quantity)} ${irys.token}`);
	} catch (e) {
		console.log("Error uploading data ", e);
	}
};

Uploading

Uploading Data

const uploadData = async () => {
	const irys = await getIrys();
	const dataToUpload = "hirys world.";
	try {
		const receipt = await irys.upload(dataToUpload);
		console.log(`Data uploaded ==> https://testnet-gateway.irys.xyz/${receipt.id}`);
	} catch (e) {
		console.log("Error uploading data ", e);
	}
};

Uploading a File

const uploadFile = async () => {
	const irys = await getIrys();
	// Your file
	const fileToUpload = "./myImage.png";

	const tags = [{ name: "application-id", value: "MyNFTDrop" }];

	try {
		const receipt = await irys.uploadFile(fileToUpload, { tags: tags });
		console.log(`File uploaded ==> https://testnet-gateway.irys.xyz/${receipt.id}`);
	} catch (e) {
		console.log("Error uploading file ", e);
	}
};

Uploading a Folder

You can upload a group of files as a single transaction from both the server and the browser.

When uploading a folder, files can be accessed either directly at https://testnet-gateway.irys.xyz/[transaction-id] or https://testnet-gateway.irys.xyz/[manifest-id]/[file-name]

Server

const uploadFolder = async () => {
	const irys = await getIrys();

	// Upload an entire folder
	const folderToUpload = "./my-images/"; // Path to folder
	try {
		const receipt = await irys.uploadFolder("./" + folderToUpload, {
			indexFile: "", // Optional index file (file the user will load when accessing the manifest)
			batchSize: 50, // Number of items to upload at once
			keepDeleted: false, // Whether to keep now deleted items from previous uploads
		}); // Returns the manifest ID

		console.log(`Files uploaded. Manifest ID ${receipt.id}`);
	} catch (e) {
		console.log("Error uploading file ", e);
	}
};

Browser

const webIrys = await getWebIrys();

const files: File[] = [];
const tags: { name: string; value: string }[][] = [];

// Convert Files to TaggedFiles
const taggedFiles = files.map((f: TaggedFile, i: number) => {
	f.tags = tags[i];
	return f;
});

const response = await webIrys.uploadFolder(taggedFiles);

3rd-Party Build Tools

Parcel

If using Parcel, you will need to manually enable package exports by adding the following to the package.json file in your project root directory.

{
	"@parcel/resolver-default": {
		"packageExports": true
	}
}
