Soroban

Are there any plans to support Soroban in the near future?

There is basic support on the soroban branch where we merged in the soroban XDR changes.

TBH we could use help on adding more.

TBH we could use help on adding more.

We just added some research time into our SCF request to free up some time to investigate how the SDK code works in detail. This way we could also contribute to maintaining the .NET SDK as well.

That's awesome! Having more contributors to this project will definitely keep it going! Thank you!

is there any update for the soroban support? I wish to contribute but I'm new in Stellar, any direction given would be appreciated. Thank you.

@elucidsoft is a little occupied with other things lately. But maybe I can guide you a little. I don't know a lot yet of this either I'm currently also exploring a little on how I can support the development of this SDK as well. So far my latest knowledge is:

As far as I know there is not any update on anything Soroban related.But, you can of course contribute if you like just remember, contributions to this repository should follow its contributing guidelines, security policy, and code of conduct.

To add support for Soroban you need to understand the XDR serialisation. I think we need to update the XDR files with the latest XDR files released by Stellar that include all data related to Soroban. Then new XDR object need to be generaged based on those XDR files. When the XDR files have been generated we need to write the actual implementation for which we should look at other repositories like for example the JavaScript, Java and/or Dart SDKs and how they've implemented it already.

I'm writing Soroban Client class in C#, if you need my code to put into the contribution effort, I will be happy to do so

I tried to add the latest XDR and run the xdrgen command, but i have the following error, anything I did wrongly?

command used:
dotnet-stellar-sdk-master\dotnet-stellar-sdk-master>xdrgen -o=./stellar-dotnet-sdk-xdr/generated -l=csharp -n=stellar_dotnet_sdk.xdr ./stellar-dotnet-sdk-xdr/*.x

I'm running MacOS.. @elucidsoft do you have any idea?

[elucidsoft]

There is a branch for Soroban with the .x files updated. @Kirbyrawr Did all of that so I don't know much about it at the moment.
