Quick Start
If you’re new to Moralis, begin with the quickstart guide in the official documentation. If you already have your server set up, let’s dive into integrating the SDK.
1. Install Moralis
To get started, you need to install the Moralis SDK in your JavaScript project with npm or yarn:
npm install moralis
yarn add moralis
Now, import Moralis into your project:
import Moralis from 'moralis';
2. Initialize Moralis
After installing, the next step is to initialize Moralis via the start method. It’s akin to preparing the pieces on a chessboard before starting the game. Here’s how you do that:
Moralis.start({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
});
Once initialized, you gain access to all functionalities that Moralis has to offer. More details can be found in our extensive documentation.
Advanced Setup
For those looking to dive deeper, you can install specific modules from Moralis rather than the default package. Picture it like customizing a pizza with only your favorite toppings instead of ordering the entire menu.
Here’s how you can set up with specified modules:
yarn add @moralisweb3common-core @moralisweb3evm-api
At the start of your code, register the modules:
import Core from '@moralisweb3/common-core';
import EvmApi from '@moralisweb3/evm-api';
const core = Core.create();
core.registerModules([EvmApi]);
Then, initialize it just like before, adapting to the configuration of the modules you’ve chosen.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues along the way, here are some tips:
- Ensure that your API key is valid and correctly placed in your initialization code.
- Double-check your installed packages to verify that all dependencies are present.
