⚠️ Required: Your project must follow the required structure and it must be initialized to use the following functions.
Resolves name alias to a Flow address (0x
prefixed) under the following conditions:
- If an account with a specific name has not been previously accessed, the framework will create a new one and then store it under the provided alias.
- Next time when you call this method, it will grab exactly the same account. This allows you to create several accounts up-front and then use them throughout your code, without worrying that accounts match or trying to store and manage specific addresses.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
alias |
string | The alias to reference or create. |
Type | Description |
---|---|
Address | 0x prefixed address of aliased account |
import {getAccountAddress} from "@onflow/flow-js-testing"
const main = async () => {
const Alice = await getAccountAddress("Alice")
console.log({Alice})
}
main()
In some cases, you may wish to manually create an account with a particular set of private keys
Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys.
Key | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
name |
string | No | human-readable name to be associated with created account (will be used for address lookup within getAccountAddress) |
keys |
[KeyObject or PublicKey] | No | An array of KeyObjects or PublicKeys to be added to the account upon creation (defaults to the universal private key) |
📣 if
name
field not provided, the account address will not be cached and you will be unable to look it up usinggetAccountAddress
.

While framework have automatic import resolver for Contracts you might want to know where it's currently deployed.
We provide a method getContractAddress
for this.
Returns address of the account where the contract is currently deployed.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name |
string | name of the contract |
Type | Description |
---|---|
Address | 0x prefixed address |
import path from "path"
import {init, emulator, deployContractByName, getContractAddress} from "../src"
;(async () => {
const basePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./cadence")
await init(basePath)
await emulator.start()
// if we omit "to" it will be deployed to Service Account
// but let's pretend we don't know where it will be deployed :)
await deployContractByName({name: "Hello"})
const contractAddress = await getContractAddress("Hello")
console.log({contractAddress})
await emulator.stop()
})()
📣 Framework does not support contracts with identical names deployed to different accounts. While you can deploy contract to a new address, the internal system, which tracks where contracts are deployed, will only store last address.

It is often the case that you need to query current state of the network. For example, to check balance of the account, read public value of the contract or ensure that user has specific resource in their storage.
We abstract this interaction into single method called executeScript
. Method have 2 different signatures.
⚠️ Required: Your project must follow the required structure it must be initialized to use the following functions.
Provides explicit control over how you pass values.
props
object accepts following fields:
Name | Type | Optional | Description |
---|---|---|---|
code |
string | ✅ | string representation of Cadence script |
name |
string | ✅ | name of the file in scripts folder to use (sans .cdc extension) |
args |
[any] | ✅ | an array of arguments to pass to script. Optional if script does not expect any arguments. |
transformers |
[CadenceTransformer] | ✅ | an array of operators to modify the code, before submitting it to network |

---|---|
ResponseObject | Script result |
import path from "path"
import {init, emulator, executeScript} from "@onflow/flow-js-testing"

// Start emulator
await emulator.start()
// Define code and arguments we want to pass
const code = `
pub fun main(message: String): Int{

const args = ["Hello, from Cadence"]
const [result, error, logs] = await executeScript({code, args})
console.log({result}, {error}, {logs})

Another common case is interactions that mutate network state - sending tokens from one account to another, minting new NFT, etc. Framework provides sendTransaction
method to achieve this. This method have 2 different signatures.
⚠️ Required: Your project must follow the required structure it must be initialized to use the following functions.
Send transaction to network. Provides explicit control over how you pass values.

Interaction is a Promise or function returning a promise.
const ix = async () => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve(1337)
})
}, 500)
}
Function, which will get valid Cadence code, modify it and return valid Cadence code
This transformer will look for occupancies of specific import statement and replace it with proper address, where it's deployed on Emulator
const replaceAddress = async code => {
const modified = code.replace(
/import\s+FungibleToken\s+from\s+0xFUNGIBLETOKEN/,
"import FungibleToken from 0xee82856bf20e2aa6"

Key objects are used to specify signer keys when creating accounts.
Key | Required | Value Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
hashAlgorithm |
No | HashAlgorithm | Hashing algorithm to use for generating signatures to be signed by this key (default: HashAlgorithm.SHA3_256 ) |
privateKey |
Yes | string | Private key to use to generate the signature |
signatureAlgorithm |
No | SignatureAlgorithm | Signing algorithm used to sign transactions with this key (default: SignatureAlgorithm.ECDSA_P256 ) |
weight |
No | number | Weight of the key - see Flow Core Concepts for more information |
Public keys are stored as Buffer
objects which have been RLP encoded according to the Flow spec.
In order to generate this object using the Flow JS Testing library, use the pubFlowKey
method exported by the library.
import {pubFlowKey} from "@onflow/flow-js-testing"
const pubKey = await pubFlowKey({
privateKey: ...,
hashAlgorithm: ...,
signatureAlgorithm: ...,
weight: ...
})
Signature objects are used to represent a signature for a particular message as well as the account and keyId which signed for this message.
Key | Value Type | Description |
---|---|---|
addr |
Address | the address of the account which this signature has been generated for |
keyId |
number | Address or SignerInfo object representing user to generate this signature for |
signature |
string | a hexidecimal-encoded string representation of the generated signature |
Signer Info objects are used to specify information about which signer and which key from this signer shall be used to sign a transaction.
Key | Required | Value Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
addr |
Yes | Address | The address of the signer's account |
hashAlgorithm |
No | HashAlgorithm | Hashing algorithm to use for generating the signature (default: HashAlgorithm.SHA3_256 ) |
keyId |
No | number | The index of the desired key to use from the signer's account (default: 0 ) |
privateKey |
No | string | Private key to use to generate the signature (default: service account private key - this is the default PK for all accounts generated by Flow JS Testing Library, see: accounts) |
signatureAlgorithm |
No | SignatureAlgorithm | Signing algorithm used to generate the signature (default: SignatureAlgorithm.ECDSA_P256 ) |
Identifier | Value |
---|---|
SHA2_256 | 1 |
SHA3_256 | 3 |
Hash algorithms may be provided as either an enum (accessible via the HashAlgorithm
object exported by Flow JS Testing, i.e. HashAlgorithm.SHA3_256
) or as a string representation of their enum identifier (i.e. "SHA3_256"
)
Identifier | Value |
---|---|
ECDSA_P256 | 2 |
ECDSA_secp256k1 | 3 |
Signing algorithms may be provided as either an enum (accessible via the SignatureAlgorithm
object exported by Flow JS Testing, i.e. SignatureAlgorithm.ECDSA_P256
) or as a string representation of their enum identifier (i.e. "ECDSA_P256"
)
Returns true if the given string is a validly formatted account address (both "0x" prefixed and non-prefixed are valid)
Name | Type | Optional | Description |
---|---|---|---|
