Planned

• Client to interact with served modules
• Module class and server
• Module API extraction and documentation generator

CLI Usage

The CLI commands are structured as follows:

comx [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]

There are six top-level subcommands:

• balance: transfer, stake, unstake and showing balance operations
• key: creating, saving (AKA regenerating), listing and showing balance operations
• module: info, list, register, serve, update
• network: block, parameters, proposals / proposing, voting operations
• subnet: info, list, update
• misc: apr, circulating supply

To report a bug or request a feature, please open an issue on GitHub.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the CommuneX Discord channel or post on our GitHub discussions page.

To contribute to the codebase, using Poetry you can install the development dependencies with:

poetry install --with dev

it can require some enviroment-specific binaries to be installed

Commune compatibility

Yes, communex is compatible with the commune library/CLI. However, there are important considerations to note. communex verifies the integrity of your keys, which means that mixing certain types of keys is not permissible. Specifically, if you possess node keys or other similar types that are not designed to receive tokens, you to relocate them outside of the key directory.
