Rippled-compatible serialization and transaction signing sample/demo

Introduction

Demo application that uses the (rippled). C++ library to create, sign, and serialize Ripple transactions before submission to the Ripple Consensus Ledger (rippled). This demonstrates much of the functionality of the sign RPC function without the overhead of a JSON library, network delays, needing to trust a 3rd party's rippled, nor needing to run your own rippled.

Dependencies

Rippled submodule

ripple-libpp includes a git submodule to include the rippled source code, which is not cloned by default. To get the rippled source, either clone this repository using

$ git clone --recursive <location>

or after cloning, run the following commands

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Note: even though the entire rippled source tree is included in the submodule, only a subset of it is used by the library.

Other dependencies

Demo

Code examples are provided in src/test/ripple-libpp_demo.cpp to demonstrate how to create, sign, and verify the signature of a transaction. Building and running this demo is an optional step to verify that dependencies are installed and available as expected.

Note that the demo is not a comprehensive suite of tests of the relevant rippled functionality; that is covered by rippled's unit tests.

Additional dependencies

In addition to the Usage dependencies, building the demo requires

Build and run

For linux and other unix-like OSes, run the following commands:

$ cd ${YOUR_RIPPLE_LIBPP_DIRECTORY}
$ mkdir -p build/debug
$ cd build/debug
$ cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ cmake --build .
$ ./ripplelibppdemo

For 64-bit Windows, open a MSBuild Command Prompt for Visual Studio and run the following commands:

> cd %YOUR_RIPPLE_LIBPP_DIRECTORY%
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
> cmake --build .
> .\Debug\ripplelibppdemo.exe

32-bit Windows builds are not supported.
