Starting the Project | XRPL Development in JavaScript - Level 3

Let’s start by creating the project.

Creating the Project

From now on, we will proceed using a more modern setup method.

First, create a project as usual.

// Create and navigate to the directory
mkdir xrpl-cross-currency
cd xrpl-cross-currency

// Initialize the project
npm init -y
npm install xrpl

Enabling ES6 Modules

Next, enable ES6 modules by adding the following setting to your package.json.

It doesn’t matter where you place it, but make sure to modify it as shown below.

{
  "name": "xrpl-cross-currency",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "type": "module", // Add this line
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "description": "",
  "dependencies": {
    "xrpl": "^3.0.0"
  }
}
