Integration Examples​

Quick Setup​

// Using @solana/web3.js
import { Connection, PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection('YOUR_GROVE_SOLANA_ENDPOINT', 'confirmed');

// Get account balance
const publicKey = new PublicKey('11111111111111111111111111111112');
const balance = await connection.getBalance(publicKey);
console.log('Balance:', balance / 1e9, 'SOL');

// Get latest slot
const slot = await connection.getSlot();
console.log('Latest slot:', slot);

SPL Token Queries​

// Get token accounts for an owner
import { TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID } from '@solana/spl-token';

const ownerPublicKey = new PublicKey('OWNER_ADDRESS_HERE');
const tokenAccounts = await connection.getTokenAccountsByOwner(
  ownerPublicKey,
  { programId: TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID }
);

console.log('Token accounts:', tokenAccounts.value.length);

// Get specific token balance
const mintAddress = new PublicKey('TOKEN_MINT_ADDRESS');
const tokenAccountsByMint = await connection.getTokenAccountsByOwner(
  ownerPublicKey,
  { mint: mintAddress }
);

Transaction Monitoring​

// Send and confirm transaction
const transaction = new Transaction().add(
  SystemProgram.transfer({
    fromPubkey: senderPublicKey,
    toPubkey: recipientPublicKey,
    lamports: 1000000, // 0.001 SOL
  })
);

const signature = await connection.sendTransaction(transaction, [senderKeypair]);
const confirmation = await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, 'confirmed');
console.log('Transaction confirmed:', confirmation);
