The following shows how to create a simple transaction (STX transfer) using Stacks.js in different environments.

Creating a transaction

Using Stacks Connect

1import { openSTXTransfer } from '@stacks/connect';
2
3openSTXTransfer({
4  network: 'testnet',
5
6  recipient: 'ST39MJ145BR6S8C315AG2BD61SJ16E208P1FDK3AK', // which address you are sending to
7  amount: 10000, // tokens, denominated in micro-STX
8
9  onFinish: response => console.log(response.txid),
10  onCancel: () => console.log('User canceled'),
11});

Using a private key

For full manual transaction signing, you need to provide the sender's private key. Treat the private key as a secret and never expose it to the public.

1import { makeSTXTokenTransfer } from '@stacks/transactions';
2
3const privateKey = randomPrivateKey(); // see "Private Keys & Wallets" page
4
5const tx = await makeSTXTokenTransfer({
6  recipient: 'ST39MJ145BR6S8C315AG2BD61SJ16E208P1FDK3AK', // which address you are sending to
7  amount: 10000, // tokens, denominated in micro-STX
8  senderKey: privateKey,
9  network: "testnet",
10});

Different transaction types

In Stacks.js, we can create transactions for different purposes:

STX token transfers
Smart contract calls
Smart contract deployments
