An Introduction to Bunzz SDK: How to Have a Speedy DApp Development Process

Original Post from Bunzz Blog by Marcel Clarembaux

Bunzz SDK is a client-side library to interact with smart contracts deployed by Bunzz. 

This is a brief and broad overview of Bunzz SDK functionality and the dependencies included in it.

We are constantly improving and updating it for blockchain developers to figure out how their Dapp building process can be accelerated and become smoother by reducing lines of code and the hassles involved in many Ethers.js methods calls that get wrapped and simplified significantly when using Bunzz SDK.

Our API allows you to save development time when it comes to connecting your deployed smart contracts in Bunzz with your frontend application to finish your Dapp.

When you create a new  Bunzz project, you can get the API key and DApp ID on the Client SDK page. By passing those values to Bunzz SDK, you can connect it to the Bunzz project you created, you can perform the following and more:

* Connect to different chains

* Connect and get smart contracts addresses including ABI and transactions

* Read on-chain status 

All these and more can be done using the Bunzz SDK in a smoother and much easier way than coding the whole set of functions and methods calls using Ethers.js.

Bunzz SDK Functionality:

If you’re wondering what Bunzz SDK can do for you, then let’s start by refreshing our notion of what an SDK is.

It stands for Software Development Kit and is a collection of software development tools in one installable package.

They facilitate the creation of applications by having a compiler, a debugger, and sometimes a software framework. They are typically specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination. 

The Bunzz SDK is a Javascript library that provides accessible interfaces to interact with smart contracts deployed by Bunzz (Bunzz Modules).

It synchronizes a front-end application and the smart contracts deployed in Bunzz, allowing the front-end app to interact with the smart contracts seamlessly. 

It includes functions such as:

• Smart contract compilation

• Interacting with JSON-RPC interfaces

• Connecting with wallet address (Metamask and WalletConnect)

• Connecting and getting Smart Contracts’ Address and ABI

• Constructing and sending Transactions and Reading on-chain Status

• Contract subscription events

• Encoding and decoding data with ABI
