Dreamcast is for both novice and expert developers who are looking to interact with programs that lack a Typescript SDK, but have a published IDL account on-chain.

Additionally, this library is suitable for those who have an IDL file for a custom program they are interacting with, but want a concise and reusable method for creating their provider and program instances.

You can install Dreamcast with npm using the following command:

npm i @joeymeere/dreamcast

Additionally, you can load the source code via unpkg:

https://unpkg.com/@joeymeere/dreamcast@latest

Fetching IDLs

// create a connection (web3.js)
const connection = new Connection("<rpc url>");
const programId = "STKUaKniasuqrfer3XNbmrrc578pkL1XACdK8H3YPu8";

// returns formatted IDL object
const idl = await getIDL(connection, programId); 

If you're using this package with Next.js, you'll need to add some extra lines to your next.config.js to ensure IDLs are correctly loaded.
