API Documentation for Stellar Asset Lists Package

Overview

The Stellar Asset Lists package is designed to facilitate the integration of curated Stellar asset lists into Stellar applications and services. This package adheres to the Stellar Ecosystem Proposal (SEP-42) standard, providing a standardized mechanism for defining, validating, and sharing lists of Stellar assets. This helps to enhance user experiences and trust by ensuring consistency and ease of integration across the Stellar network.

It is compatible with Flutter Desktop (Windows, Linux, MacOS), IOS, Android, and Web.

Key Features:

• Fetch and parse available asset lists from a central catalogue.
• Retrieve specific asset lists using their URL.
• Configurable resolver options for catalogue and IPFS gateway URLs.
• Automatic resolution of asset icons.

Usage in your project

1. Fetch asset lists from the community-managed catalogue: fetchAvailableAssetLists()

2. Show available lists fetched from the catalogue to your users, so they could select one or more lists from providers they trust. Save selected lists in user settings.

3. Load selected list and cache the result: fetchAssetList('list_url')

4. Utilize a user-selected list to show only relevant assets in transfer/trade/swap interfaces. This helps to combat various fraudulent schemes while delegating all the power of decision-making to end-users in a truly decentralized manner.

5. Profit! Safer, more streamlined UX.

Usage Example

void main() async {
  final assetListResolver = StellarAssetListResolver();

  try {
    // Fetch available asset lists
    List<AssetListDescriptor> assetLists = await assetListResolver.fetchAvailableAssetLists();
    for (var list in assetLists) {
      print('Asset List: ${list.name}, Provider: ${list.provider}');
    }

    // Fetch a specific asset list
    if (assetLists.isNotEmpty) {
      AssetList assetList = await assetListResolver.fetchAssetList(assetLists[0].url);
      print('Fetched Asset List: ${assetList.name}');
    }

    // Update resolver options
    assetListResolver.setAssetListResolverOptions(
      catalogueUrl: 'https://new-catalogue-url.example.com',
      ipfsGatewayUrl: 'https://new-ipfs-gateway.example.com',
    );
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error: $e');
  }
}
