Dependencies in Lit Actions

We preload some dependencies for you:

• Ethers v5.7 is loaded and available via the global ethers object
• The jsonwebtoken library located here https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken is loaded and available via the global jwt object

note

You cannot use require or import to load other dependencies in Lit Actions except for pre-loaded dependencies like ethers and jsonwebtoken. If you need to use other dependencies, you can bundle them and upload the bundle as a single Lit Action file.

Moreover, there is 5mb size limit on a Lit Action file.

Adding your own dependencies

To add your own dependencies, you'll have to use a bundler, and provide the bundle as your Lit Action. There's an example of how to do this using esbuild here, but you could use any bundler: https://github.com/LIT-Protocol/js-serverless-function-test/tree/main/bundleTests/siwe

Built in functions

We provide a number of functions in the Lit.Actions.* namespace, to do things like call a contract or check an access control condition. The API docs for this are located here: https://actions-docs.litprotocol.com/
