@starship-ci/client
Starship Client enables developers to efficiently set up and test chains, explorers, and validators, making it easier to handle development projects spanning several blockchain networks.
Starship Client is the programmatic interface to deploy and manage Starship, tailored specifically for Node.js and TypeScript developers. This toolkit provides a seamless, easy-to-use interface that dramatically simplifies the development, testing, and deployment of interchain applications, whether on your local machine or CI/CD environments.
Designed with simplicity and speed in mind, Starship Client enables developers to quickly integrate Starship into their blockchain projects without complex orchestration.
Features
Node.js and TypeScript Focused: Tailored specifically for JavaScript ecosystems, Starship Client brings simplicity to multi-chain development for Node.js and TypeScript environments, streamlining the setup and coding processes.
Simplified Interchain Development: Enables the straightforward creation of applications that span multiple blockchain networks. This simplifies complex blockchain interactions, enhancing interoperability and making it easier to build sophisticated interchain solutions.
Security-First Approach: Starship Client incorporates security best practices from the ground up. Facilitates secure coding practices and configurations, helping developers build secure blockchain applications by default, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities.

Install
Install the test utilities library, @starship-ci/client with npm or yarn:
npm install @starship-ci/clientRecommended Usage
Stay tuned for a create-cosmos-app boilerplate! For now, this is the most recommended setup. Consider everything else after this section "advanced setup".
- We recommend studying the osmojs starship integration and replicating it.
- Add your configs, similar to how it's done here
- Add your workflows for GitHub Actions like this
- Add
yarn starshipcommands to your package.json scripts like this — Note the jest configurations in the osmojs package
This will allow you to run yarn starship to start, setup, deploy, stop and other starship commands:
Deploying Starship
yarn starship start
# sanity check
yarn starship get-podsRunning End-to-End Tests
# test
yarn starship:test
# watch
yarn starship:watchTeardown
# stop ports and delete deployment
yarn starship stopAdvanced Usage
Manual setup
Instead of using yarn starship start, you can also to each step, and do checks in between:
# setup helm/starship
yarn starship setup
# sanity check
yarn starship get-pods
# deploy starship
yarn starship deploy
# wait til STATUS=Running
yarn starship get-pods
# port forwarding
yarn starship start-ports
# check pids
yarn starship port-pidsThe StarshipClient simplifies managing Kubernetes resources, specifically tailored for developers working in interchain environments. Below is an example showing how to instantiate the client and use it to manage a Helm deployment:
Initializing the Client
First, you need to import and initialize the StarshipClient with your Helm configuration:
import {StarshipClient} from '@starship-ci/client';
const client = new StarshipClient({
name: 'osmojs',
config: 'path/to/config.yaml',
repo: 'starship',
repoUrl: 'https://hyperweb-io.github.io/starship/',
chart: 'devnet',
version: '1.8.0'
});Configuration
After initializing, you can load in your config. Assuming you have a yaml file:
client.loadConfig();If you don't have one, you can set and save a configuration directly from the client:
client.setConfig(config);
client.saveConfig(config);Setting Up and Installing the Chart
After initializing, set up the environment and install the starship helm chart:
// adds helm chart to registry
client.setup();
// installs helm chart
client.deploy();Starting Port Forwarding
For local development, you might need to forward ports from your Kubernetes pods:
client.startPortForward();Stopping and Cleaning Up
Once done with development or testing, you can stop the port forwarding and remove the Helm chart:
// stop port forwarding
// remove the deployed release from your Kubernetes cluster
client.undeploy();
// remove the helm chart
client.teardown();Developing
When first cloning the repo:
