Stellar-plus is a robust JavaScript library built by Cheesecake Labs and designed to streamline the development of applications on the Stellar network. By integrating the Stellar community's primary resources, Stellar-plus offers developers an efficient, easy-to-use toolkit. This library simplifies the complexities of Stellar network interaction, making it accessible for both novice and experienced developers alike.

• Account Handling: Seamless management of signatures throughout the transaction lifecycle.
• Asset Management: Full suite of asset management capabilities, including standard and custom assets.
• Core Engines: Essential for building, submitting, signing, and processing transactions on the Stellar network.
• Contract Development: Simplifies the development of decentralized applications (dApps).
• RPC Integration: Connects to and leverages various RPC services for a broader range of applications.
• Plugins and Extensions: Supports plugins and tools to enhance functionality and tailor the library to specific needs.

Using npm to include js-stellar-plus in your own project:

npm install --save stellar-plus

Install it using npm:

npm install --save stellar-plus

Quality being a core pillar of Stellar Plus, to ensure a high level of confiability we aim at keep a high level of test coverage throughout the whole library. All tests written currently fall within one of the following categories:

• Unit tests for specific localized behaviour
• Integration tests to cover whole features and ledger integration

To run all tests locally, one can run the following command:

npm run test

This will trigger both the suit of unit and integrations tests, outputting their combined coverage to the directory ./src/coverage/all. This is the metric used as reference when merging implementation to the main branch and releasing new versions.

As the unit tests aim at enforcing locallized behaviour, they are implemented within their reference features directory and can be identified by the file name pattern *.unit.test.ts.

To execute only the unit tests locally, one can run the command:

npm run test-unit

This will trigger the suit of unit tests only, outputting its coverage to the directory ./src/coverage/unit.

As the integration tests aim at guaranteeing a great level of confidence about whole feature's behaviour, by default all integration tests verify complete workable use cases.

Testing functionalities against a DLT poses a challenge as public testnets can introduce external interference or be out of reach at specific time. Therefore, all integration tests in Stellar Plus, leverage a Stellar Test Ledger feature, originally developed by Cheesecakelabs for the open source project Hyperledger Cacti.

The Stellar Test Ledger can be found within the @hyperledger/cactus-test-tooling package or directly available through Stellar Plus as well. It pulls up and manages the Stellar Quickstart Docker Image to start a pristine version of the Stellar ledger and all its services without any external interference.

Each integration use case is tested against a pristine ledger with no existing history to ensure maximum isolation of the feature while still verifying agains a real production-like environment.

To execute only the integration tests locally, one can run the command:

npm run test-integration

This will trigger the suit of integration tests only, outputting its coverage to the directory ./src/coverage/integration.
