Getting started with TAC’s frontend SDK is straightforward. This guide will walk you through the installation process and initial setup.

​
Installation

Install the TAC SDK using npm or yarn:

npm install @tonappchain/sdk

You’ll also need to install peer dependencies if you haven’t already:

npm install @ton/ton @tonconnect/ui ethers

​
Basic Setup

Once you’ve installed the SDK, you can create an instance of TACK SDK in your application:

import { TacSdk, Network } from '@tonappchain/sdk';

async function initializeSdk() {
  // Create SDK instance
  const tacSdk = await TacSdk.create({
    network: Network.TESTNET
    // Default configuration uses public endpoints
  });
  
  return tacSdk;
}

​
Configuration Options

The SDK can be configured with several options:

import { TacSdk, Network } from '@tonappchain/sdk';

async function initializeWithOptions() {
  const tacSdk = await TacSdk.create({
    // Required: Specify the network
    network: Network.TESTNET, // or Network.MAINNET for production
    
    // Optional: Add delay in seconds for requests (default: 0)
    delay: 3,
    
    // Optional: Custom TON parameters
    TONParams: {
      // Custom contract opener if needed
    },
    
    // Optional: Custom TAC parameters
    TACParams: {
      // Custom TAC parameters if needed
    }
  });
  
  return tacSdk;
}

​
Advanced Configuration: Custom TON Provider

By default, the SDK uses public TON endpoints. For production applications, you might want to use your own endpoints:

import { TacSdk, Network } from '@tonappchain/sdk';
import { TonClient } from '@ton/ton';

async function initializeWithCustomProvider() {
  const tacSdk = await TacSdk.create({
    network: Network.TESTNET,
    delay: 1,
    TONParams: {
      contractOpener: new TonClient({
        endpoint: "https://testnet.toncenter.com/api/v2/jsonRPC",
        apiKey: "your_api_key" // Optional but recommended for production
      })
    }
  });
  
  return tacSdk;
}

​
Advanced Configuration: LiteClient (Node.js Only)

For Node.js environments, you can use lite clients for improved performance:

import { TacSdk, Network, liteClientOpener } from '@tonappchain/sdk';

async function initializeWithLiteClient() {
  // Your own lite client servers configuration
  const liteClientServers = [/* your lite client servers */];
  
  const tacSdk = await TacSdk.create({
    network: Network.TESTNET,
    TONParams: {
      contractOpener: await liteClientOpener({ 
        liteservers: liteClientServers 
      }),
    },
  });
  
  // IMPORTANT: Close connections when done
  // tacSdk.closeConnections();
  
  return tacSdk;
}

When using custom Lite Clients, don’t forget to call tacSdk.closeConnections() when you’re done to prevent your application from hanging.

​
Verifying the Installation

To verify that everything is set up correctly, you can check the initialization:

import { TacSdk, Network } from '@tonappchain/sdk';

async function verifySetup() {
  try {
    const tacSdk = await TacSdk.create({
      network: Network.TESTNET
    });
    
    console.log("TAC SDK initialized successfully!");
    return tacSdk;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("TAC SDK initialization failed:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}
