[Feature Request]: Simplify client setup #4672
Description
Implementation ideas
In most networks, setting up a connection to a client in order to submit a transaction requires a URL and private key (optionally an api token). For comparison, the celestia client setup is as follows (from the docs)
keyname := "my_celes_key"
// Initialize keyring
kr, err := client.KeyringWithNewKey(client.KeyringConfig{
KeyName: keyname,
BackendName: keyring.BackendTest,
}, "./keys")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Configure client (replace with your actual values)
cfg := client.Config{
ReadConfig: client.ReadConfig{
BridgeDAAddr: "https://your-quicknode-url.celestia-mocha.quiknode.pro/<your-api-token>",
EnableDATLS: true,
},
SubmitConfig: client.SubmitConfig{
DefaultKeyName: keyname,
Network: "mocha-4",
CoreGRPCConfig: client.CoreGRPCConfig{
Addr: "your-quicknode-url:9090",
TLSEnabled: true,
AuthToken: "<your-api-token>",
},
},
}
// Create client
c, err := client.New(ctx, cfg, kr)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
It would greatly improve the overall devex of the client if the config and setup where simplified such that things like keyname, path, network name, etc. where not required. A good reference to follow is how Ethereum clients only require a URL for reads:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient"
)
func main() {
_, err := ethclient.Dial("ADD_YOUR_ETHEREUM_NODE_URL")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Oops! There was a problem", err)
} else {
fmt.Println("Success! you are connected to the Ethereum Network")
}
}
