Examples for the v4-Client Typescript client to place an order and query the dYdX chain. For more information, on a step-by-step guide, check here: https://zinc-bongo-636.notion.site/DYDX-Orders-74952ac102584dfcbed8542cb9506b64?pvs=4

v4-client-js uses node v18 for development. You can use nvm to manage different versions of node.

nvm install
nvm use
nvm alias default $(nvm version) # optional

You can run the following commands to ensure that you are running the correct node and npm versions.

node -v # expected: v18.x.x (should match .nvmrc)
npm -v  # expected: 8.x.x

git clone [email protected]:gaonip/dydx4examples.git

• Go to /src/orderExample.ts and fill out a mnemonic for testnet. Feel free to use DYDX_TEST_MNEMONIC from the official TS client library under v4-client-js/examples/constants for development purposes

• Now modify or add your orders in the /src/human_readable_orders.json file.

npm install
npm run build

You should now see a /build dir generated with JS files. We will use node to run these scripts

• Run the websocket first to see orders for a given subaccount

node build/websocketExample.js

• Open a separate terminal to run the example orders. The first order is a BTC limit sell order.
• The second order is an order that is not expected to be filed immediately, in that case the cancel order will cancel if not executed within 5 minutes.
• See example outputs in the /output dir

node build/orderExample.js

Alternatively you can run directly with ts-node for development purpose.

npm install
npm install typescript ts-node

• Run the websocket first to see orders for a given subaccount

npx ts-node build/websocketExample.ts

• Open a separate terminal to run the example orders. The first order is a BTC limit sell order.
• The second order is an order that is not expected to be filed immediately, in that case the cancel order will cancel if not executed within 5 minutes.

npx ts-node build/orderExample.ts
