Algorand Integration Snippets

JavaScript code snippets illustrating basic integration operations with Algorand.

This is a companion repository to the article: Integrating with third-party app (deposits and withdrawals) on the Algorand Developer portal.

Prerequisites

Algorand Sandbox must be up and running in the Private network mode (default one) prior to starting this app. Please refer to the Sandbox documentation to find the most relevant information on how to download and start it.

For the best experience it is recommended to reset the Sandbox to its initial state by running the following command in the Sandbox directory:

./sandbox reset
