prex is a command-line interface for interacting with Prex instances. Use prex server to initiate a Prex gRPC server or an HTTP gateway for RESTful access. prex client is intended for local testing purposes, such as signing Sui personal messages for account registration and interacting with a Sui blockchain. In a production setting, a more user-friendly interface should be developed.

Start a Prex server:

prex server start --environment=./.env

Start an HTTP gateway:

prex server gateway --grpc-port=50051 --bind-port=3000 --grpc-host=localhost

Run both commands and test with

curl http://localhost:3000/v1/ping

Expected response:

{"pong":"pong"}

prex client will search for a suitable location to store a YAML configuration file, which will be used to save account information. The location of this configuration file can be specified using the --config parameter.

Available Commands:
  account      Print information of the account
  sign         Sign a personal message
  sui-faucet   Request Sui coins from faucet
