Successfully implemented a waitForTransaction helper function and supporting utilities for the Fundable Stellar SDK. This feature provides a convenient way for developers to wait for AssembledTransaction confirmations on-chain.
File: packages/sdk/src/utils/transactions.ts
-
waitForTransaction() - Main utility function
- Automatically polls Soroban RPC for transaction confirmation
- Configurable timeout (default: 60 seconds)
- Configurable poll interval (default: 1 second)
- Optional progress callback (onPoll)
- Full TypeScript generics support
- Comprehensive error messages
-
signAndWait() - Convenience helper
- Combines signing, sending, and waiting in one call
- Simplifies the developer experience
- Maintains all configuration options
-
Type Definitions
WaitForTransactionOptions- Configuration interfaceTransactionWaitResult<T>- Return type with hash, ledger, and result
Lines of Code: ~170 lines
File: packages/sdk/src/__tests__/transactions.test.ts
Test Coverage: 30+ test cases organized into 6 test suites
-
Success Cases (5 tests)
- Transaction reaches SUCCESS status
- Multiple polling attempts
- Custom poll intervals
- onPoll callback invocation
- Result preservation
-
Error Cases (5 tests)
- Unsigned transaction detection
- Failed transaction handling
- Timeout exceeding
- RPC not found errors
- Unexpected RPC errors
-
Configuration Tests (3 tests)
- Default timeout behavior
- Custom timeout values
- Default and custom poll intervals
-
Result Preservation (3 tests)
- Bigint results
- Null results
- Complex object results
-
signAndWait Integration (4 tests)
- Sign, send, and wait sequencing
- Signer error propagation
- Configuration option passing
- Delayed confirmation handling

- Simple API - Just two functions to learn
- Convenience Method -
signAndWaitcombines common operations - Type Safe - Full TypeScript support with generics
- Flexible - Configurable timeouts and polling intervals
- Observable - Optional callbacks for progress tracking
- Automatic Polling - No manual RPC queries needed
- Timeout Protection - Prevents infinite waiting
- Error Messages - Clear, actionable error messages
- Transaction Hash Tracking - Included in all error messages
- Graceful Degradation - Handles network delays
- 30+ Test Cases - Comprehensive coverage
- All Scenarios - Success, timeout, failure, and error cases
- Mocked RPC - Tests don't require network access
- Type Safe - Tests verify TypeScript compatibility

Update to use waitForTransaction:
// Before await tx.signAndSend({ signTransaction }); // No confirmation waiting // After const result = await signAndWait(tx, rpcUrl, signTransaction); // Automatic confirmation waiting
-
Add progress feedback:
const result = await waitForTransaction(tx, rpcUrl, { onPoll: (attempt, elapsed) => { updateUI(`Confirming... attempt ${attempt}`); } });
Import and use directly:
import {
PaymentStreamClient,
DistributorClient,
waitForTransaction,
signAndWait
} from "@fundable/sdk";- ✅ Simpler transaction flow
