Element Lifecycle

import { DefaiElement } from '@defai/element-sdk';

export default class MyElement extends DefaiElement {
  // Required metadata
  readonly metadata = {
    id: 'my-element',
    name: 'My Awesome Element',
    version: '1.0.0',
    description: 'Does amazing things',
    category: 'Trading'
  };

  // Define permissions needed
  readonly permissions = {
    storage: true,
    wallet: true,
    ai: true,
    network: true
  };

  // Lifecycle hooks
  async onMount(context) {
    // Element initialization
    this.api = context.api;
    console.log('Element mounted!');
  }

  async onUnmount() {
    // Cleanup
    console.log('Element unmounting...');
  }

  // React render method
  render() {
    return <div>Hello DEFAI!</div>;
  }
}

📚 Advanced Features

Element Communication

// Subscribe to messages from other elements
this.api.messaging.subscribe('price-alerts', (alert) => {
  if (alert.symbol === this.state.watchedSymbol) {
    this.showNotification(alert.message);
  }
});

// Broadcast data to other elements
this.api.messaging.broadcast('trade-executed', {
  symbol: 'SOL-USD',
  amount: 100,
  price: 45.67,
  timestamp: Date.now()
});

AI Integration

// Market sentiment analysis
const sentiment = await this.api.ai.analyze('market-sentiment', {
  symbols: ['SOL-USD', 'BTC-USD'],
  timeframe: '1h',
  includeNews: true
});

const insights = await this.api.ai.generate(
  'Analyze the SOL price movement and provide 3 key trading insights'
);

const response = await this.api.ai.chat(
  'What are the best DeFi opportunities this week?',
  { context: this.state.portfolio }
);

const solBalance = await this.api.wallet.getBalance('SOL');
const usdcBalance = await this.api.wallet.getBalance('USDC');

// Request transaction permission
const permitted = await this.api.wallet.requestPermission('transaction');

if (permitted) {
