In this chapter all the necessary things are covered to get started with SignumJS. To use SignumJS one need a basic to intermediate knowledge of Javascript (or even better Typescript). You don't have to be an expert either in programming or cryptography to write your applications.

The recommended skillset is:

  • Be familiar with Javascript Syntax, e.g. functions, objects/JSON, loops etc.
  • Feel comfortable with asyncronous programming, i.e. know Promises and async/await
  • Understand Exception Handling, i.e. try/catch

It is advantageous to know how to use package managers like npm, yarn or pnpm, as modern Javascript applications usually are built upon these toolings, but it's possible Using minified bundles in plain vanilla or other non-pure JS web applications also (very similar to jquery), like WordPress, PHP in general and others.

It is highly recommended to use SignumJS within a decent IDE like VSCode or WebStorm to take full advantage of the auto-completion feature, making developing for Signum a breeze.
