Welcome to the TypeScript SWIG SDK tutorial! This comprehensive guide will walk you through all the essential functions and features of the SWIG SDK, helping you understand how to integrate SWIG into your TypeScript applications.
The tutorial code is available in the swig-ts repository.

- For the Kit version (compatible with @solana/kit), see: examples/kit/transfer/tutorial
Note:
This tutorial provides two versions of each code example:
  • Classic: Uses the @solana/web3.js library and is compatible with the classic Solana SDK.
  • Kit: Uses the new @solana/kit library for a modern, streamlined Solana development experience.
You can switch between Classic and Kit code snippets using the tabs above each example.
