How to utilize yaci

[Fiftyw3bs]

I've recently just been introduced to Yaci and was wondering if it is suitable for me.

I make use of GeniusYield's atlas for offchain code and I'm able to use kupo for interacting with cardano-node, which I also see yaci supporting. However, I'm not sure how to modify the configuration to accommodate yaci.

My config file for using kupo currently looks like this:

{
    "coreProvider": { "socketPath": "~/cnode/node.socket", "kupoUrl": "http://localhost:1442" },
    "networkId": "testnet-preprod",
    "logging": [{ "type": { "tag": "stderr" }, "severity": "Debug", "verbosity": "V2" }],
    "utxoCacheEnable": false
  }

The Node Socket Path provided by yaci [💡 Node Socket Paths] /clusters/nodes/default/node/node.sock is not acessible outside of yaci cli and I'm not sure of the networkId to use.

On the frontend side, I'm making use of Lace wallet, but there are only 3 possible networks to select from: preprod, preview and mainnet.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

@Fiftyw3bs Thanks for evaluating Yaci DevKit.

1. As you mentioned, the Kupo port for Yaci DevKit (both Docker and NPM distributions) is 1442, so your existing configuration should work.

2. If you need access to the node.socket file, the NPM distribution of DevKit is probably better since it doesn’t use Docker. Although it might be possible to access the node socket in the DevKit Docker version on Linux, I'm not sure about Mac OS.

I suggest checking out the NPM distribution of Yaci DevKit here: https://devkit.yaci.xyz/yaci_cli_npm_distr

For the non-Docker (NPM) Yaci DevKit, you can get the node socket file by executing the info command in yaci-cli. You will receive the full path, which should look something like:

~/.yaci-cli/local-clusters/default/node/node.sock

3. The network Id is 42 for devnet.

4. Regarding frontend, I'm not sure what backend LaceWallet uses or if it has a custom backend. Currently, this is a gap.. a Dev Wallet for testing. Hopefully, we will have a solution for that in the future. There are some community projects that provide such solution, but I need to check.

If you find any integration specific issues, feel free to mention them here or drop a message on Yaci DevKit's Discord channel.

Another benefit of NPM Yaci DevKit is that you can easily use it in Github action.

Fyi, NPM distr is currently supported on Linux x86 and MacOS ARM. But if you need on another platform, let us know.
