Connecting to a Lit Network

After installing the Lit SDK, you can connect an instance of LitNodeClient to a Lit network. This is done by setting the litNetwork property when instantiating an instance of LitNodeClient:

import { LitNodeClient } from "@lit-protocol/lit-node-client";
import { LitNetwork } from "@lit-protocol/constants";

const litNodeClient = new LitNodeClient({
    // Change this to the Lit SDK Network Identifier you want to connect to
    litNetwork: LitNetwork.DatilDev,
});
await litNodeClient.connect();
