We can generate an account by just using new tnb.Account()

[tomijaga]

Shouldn't this be in the Account Manager Repo?

[zinoadidi]

@tomijaga to be honest i want to have them here for better management of the tasks;
All tasks that are created here are just to help guild the process as I have agreed with Justin to take charge of the integration process.
All small tasks here will be connected to the main task in the account manager repo thenewboston-blockchain/Account-Manager#585 and will not generate any return from here;

The final bounty will be paid out as specified on the main task in the account manager

Here we can track the process of integration and make changes to SDK as needed when and if things arise during the integration process.

For instance, if during the switching you find a new method that is missing, then the PR for such method on SDK would reference this task or related task

[tomijaga]

Yh this makes sense

[zinoadidi]

@tomijaga i will work on publishing a new version to npm;
Justin already made a dedicated branch for you to work from in the account manager repo.
Basically, we are ready when you are :)
Also, two new contributors will join our SDK team, let me know if you need some sort of assistance and we can work out something

[tomijaga]

@zinoadidi I'm ready. I can start working on it once the npm package is published.

[zinoadidi]

@tomijaga it's published. update me how it goes, what problems you face, etc

[tomijaga]

@zinoadidi Done with the account functions. Need to get the code reviewed and merge before i can move on to the next class

[zinoadidi]

All merge can go to the branch created for this integration task, let's get any one who is active on account manager repo to look at it and merge after.

I would say once all work relating to account section is done, then we can look at getting Justin involve and see how we can get the updates to development branch.

So we just do it batch by batch basically

[zinoadidi]

@tomijaga i looked at PR, seems you have done already all account-related things. Good job!

I guess we wait for Justin, not sure he will give us write access but i will leave a comment as well.

Will create the next set of tasks

[tomijaga]

Yh I hope he gives us access. It will make it faster. I can just push the changes and have him review when it's all done

[zinoadidi]

Tasks are now created;
will add some more tomorrow

you can filter issues / tasks relating to this project with is:open is:issue project:thenewboston-developers/thenewboston-js/4

[tomijaga]

@zinoadidi I also found some functions that are missing from the sdk:

• getSingleBank
• getSingleValidator
• getSingleAccount
• updateValidatorTrust

I will create tasks for them

[zinoadidi]

@tomijaga it gets even better now;
So i will close all linked tasks as resolved, lets look towards the next steps;
Will try to download the version containing the changes you made and test it in my free time
