Knowledge Base

Freename resolution snap is using the official Snap SDK to develop an add-on that can be installed on Metamask and provides resolution to a domain name using the Freename resolver API. The development is done on the repository https://github.com/FreenameDomains/freename-resolution-snap-dev, while the release version is managed on https://github.com/FreenameDomains/freename-resolution-snap .

The dev repo is providing additional functionality to ease the development process. It exposes a simple webpage on localhost:8000 which can be used to connect to the local snap.

It is based on the snap monorepo official template and using a very limited set of functionality. Namely endowment:network-access (to allow the extension to communicate with the resolver API) & endowment:name-lookup (to define under which networks on Metamask, should domains be resolved).

Development

• Clone the repo

• Install required packages (yarn)

• Run locally yarn start

• Under the packages folder there are two sub-folders. site holds the supporting webpage, snap holds the snap code itself

• You can access the site on localhost:8000 the code itself is very simple and self explanatory
