⚠️ Deprecated Repository ⚠️

This repository is deprecated.

The last version of tbdex-kt that used this repository is 3.0.1.

Starting from version 4.0.0, the project has transitioned to using the tbdex-rs kotlin bindings repository found here: https://github.com/TBD54566975/tbdex-rs/tree/main/bound/kt.

tbdex-sdk

This repo contains packages:

• /protocol - create, parse, verify, and validate the tbdex messages and resources defined in the protocol draft specification
• /httpclient - An HTTP client that can be used to send tbdex messages to PFIs
• /httpserver - Base implementation of a tbDEX HTTP server responsible for handling RFQs, orders, and other interactions
• /distribution - The full tbDEX Platform

Usage

tbDEX is available from Maven Central. Instructions for adding the dependency in a variety of build tools including Maven and Gradle are linked there.

Important

tbDEX contains transitive dependencies not found in Maven Central. To resolve these, add the TBD thirdparty repository to your Maven or Gradle config.

For instance, in your Maven pom.xml:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>tbd-oss-thirdparty</id>
    <name>tbd-oss-thirdparty</name>
    <releases>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <url>https://blockxyz.jfrog.io/artifactory/tbd-oss-thirdparty-maven2/</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

...or in your gradle.settings.kts:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
      mavenCentral()
      // Thirdparty dependencies of TBD projects not in Maven Central
      maven("https://blockxyz.jfrog.io/artifactory/tbd-oss-thirdparty-maven2/")
}

Development

Prerequisites

Cloning

This repository uses git submodules. To clone this repo with submodules

git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:TBD54566975/tbdex-kt.git

Or to add submodules after cloning

git submodule update --init

Hermit

This project uses hermit to manage tooling like Maven and Java versions. See this page to set up Hermit on your machine - make sure to download the open source build and activate it for the project.

Once you've installed Hermit and before running builds on this repo, run from the root:

source ./bin/activate-hermit

This will set your environment up correctly in the terminal emulator you're on.

Building with Maven

This project is built with the Maven Project Management tool. It is installed via Hermit above.

If you want to build an artifact on your local filesystem, you can do so by running the following command - either at the top level or in any of the subprojects:

mvn clean verify

This will first clean all previous builds and compiled code, then: compile, test, and build the artifacts in each of the submodules of this project in the $moduleName/target directory, for example:

ls -l httpserver/target

If you'd like to skip packaging and test only, run:

mvn test

You may also run a single test; cd into the submodule of choice, then use the -Dtest= parameter to denote which test to run, for example:

cd httpclient; \
mvn test -Dtest=TestClassName

To install builds into your local Maven repository, run from the root:

mvn install

For more, see the documentation on Maven Lifecycle.

Generating API Docs Locally

We use Dokka to create the HTML API Documentation for this project. This is done using the Dokka CLI because the Dokka Maven Plugin does not yet support multimodule builds. To run locally, obtain the Dokka CLI. Run from the root of this repo:

# it will download the jars into the `target/dokka-cli` folder and generate the docs
./scripts/dokka.sh

These will be available in target/apidocs.

This step is handled during releases and published via GitHub Actions.

Publishing Docs

API reference documentation is automatically updated are available at https://tbd54566975.github.io/tbdex-kt/docs/ following each automatically generated release.

Dependency Management

As tbDEX is a platform intended to run alongside Web5 in a single ClassLoader, versions and dependencies must be aligned among the subprojects (sometimes called modules) of this project. To address, we declare versions in pom.xml's <dependencyManagement> section and import references defined there in the subproject pom.xmls' <dependencies> sections. Versions themselves are defined as properties in the root pom.xml. See further documentation on versioning and dependency management there.

The root pom.xml may also be imported in projects building atop tbDEX in import scope to respect these dependency declarations.

Updating the Web5 Dependency

This build extends from the Web5 build. Therefore, updates to Web5 must be done in 2 places in the root pom.xml:

1. In <properties>, where <version.xyz.block.web5> is defined.
2. In the <parent>, where the tbdex-parent has a parent of web5-parent. This version number cannot be referenced from the version property defined by 1., so it must be updated in tandem.

Release Guidelines

Pre-releases

In Kotlin we use the SNAPSHOT convention to build and publish a pre-release package that can be consumed for preview/testing/development purposes.

These SNAPSHOTs are generated and published whenever there's a new push to main. If you want to manually kick that off to preview some changes introduced in a PR branch:

1. Open the SDK Kotlin CI Workflow, press the Run workflow button selecting the branch you want to generate the snapshot from.

2. In the version field, insert the current version, a short meaningful identifier and the -SNAPSHOT suffix, ie:

• 0.11.0.pr123-SNAPSHOT
• 0.11.0.shortsha-SNAPSHOT
• 0.11.0.fixsomething-SNAPSHOT

3. Run workflow!

You MUST use the -SNAPSHOT suffix, otherwise it's not a valid preview SNAPSHOT and it will be rejected.

SNAPSHOTs will be available in TBD's Artifactory tbd-oss-snapshots-maven2 Repository.

Releasing New Versions

To release a new version, execute the following steps:

1. Open the Release and Publish, press the Run workflow button selecting the branch you want to generate the snapshot from.

2. In the version field, declare the version to be released. ie:

• 0.15.2

• 0.17.0-alpha-3

• 1.6.3

• Choose an appropriate version number based on semver rules. Remember that versions are immutable once published to Maven Central; they cannot be altered or removed.

3. Press the Run workflow button and leave the main branch selected (unless its a rare case where you don't want to build from the main branch for the release).

4. Run workflow! This:

• Builds
• Tests
• Creates artifacts for binaries and sources
• Signs artifacts
• Uploads artifacts to TBD Artifactory
• Tags git with release number "v$version"
• Keeps development version in the pom.xml to 0.0.0-main-SNAPSHOT
• Pushes changes to git
• Triggers job to:
  • Build from tag and upload to Maven Central
  • Create GitHub Release "v$version"built and published to maven central, docs will be published (see below) and the GitHub release will be automatically generated!
  • Publish API Docs

Publishing a SNAPSHOT from a Local Dev Machine

Please take care to only publish -SNAPSHOT builds (ie. when the <version> field of the pom.xml ends in -SNAPSHOT.) unless there's good reason to deploy a non-SNAPSHOT release. Releases are typically handled via automation in GitHub Actions s documented above.

To deploy to TBD's Artifactory instance for sharing with others, you need your Artifactory username and password handy (available to TBD-employed engineers). Set environment variables:

export ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME=yourUsername; \
export ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD=yourPassword

...then run:

mvn deploy --settings .maven_settings.xml

Working with the tbdex submodule
