Typescript Example with polkadot{.js}

First install the polkadot{.js} SDK. You can find the full documentation here: https://polkadot.js.org/docs/

Here a code sample to generate a signature via the Dfns TypeScript SDK:

import { ApiPromise, HttpProvider } from '@polkadot/api'
import { EXTRINSIC_VERSION } from '@polkadot/types/extrinsic/v4/Extrinsic'

const walletId = 'wa-6lbfv-9esgj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
const wallet = await dfnsClient.wallets.getWallet({ walletId })

const httpProvider = new HttpProvider(process.env.POLKADOT_NODE_URL!)
const api = await ApiPromise.create({
  provider: httpProvider,
  signer: senderWallet,
  noInitWarn: true,
})

const transaction = api.tx.balances.transferKeepAlive('5EwvHZHrKd9WYc3LByzMZW5cmxJt9VMsfYiKg5jCJb8UBfbC', 10000)
const signerPayload: any = transaction.registry.createTypeUnsafe('SignerPayload', [
  transaction,
  { version: EXTRINSIC_VERSION },
])

const res = await dfnsClient.wallets.generateSignature({
  walletId,
  body: {
    kind: 'Message',
    message: signerPayload.toRaw().data,
  },
})
