# Nimiq JSON-RPC Client Library for Gleam
[![Package Version](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/nimiq_rpc)](https://hex.pm/packages/nimiq_rpc)
[![Hex Docs](https://img.shields.io/badge/hex-docs-ffaff3)](https://hexdocs.pm/nimiq_rpc/)
## Installation
```sh
gleam add nimiq_rpc
```
## Usage
First, create a client instance:
```gleam
import nimiq_rpc
pub fn main() {
let client = nimiq_rpc.client("http://localhost:8648")
// To add authentication information, use this function instead:
let client = nimiq_rpc.client_with_auth(
"http://localhost:8648",
"username",
"password",
)
}
```
Each RPC method has its own typed method in this library. The methods are ordered by dispatcher, just like they are in the Rust source code (but your editor's auto-import should help you resolve each method name you want to use). The name of each method is the `snake_case` version of the `camelCase` method name.
```gleam
import nimiq_rpc/consensus
import nimiq_rpc/blockchain
pub fn main() {
// ...
let assert Ok(has_consensus) = client |> consensus.is_consensus_established()
echo has_consensus // True or False
let assert Ok(number) = client |> blockchain.get_block_number()
echo number // For example 13424115
}
```
Further documentation of the individual methods can be found at <https://hexdocs.pm/nimiq_rpc>.
