The following features were added to the Clive: loading a transaction (signed and to be signed), saving a signed and unsigned transaction to file, and creating profiles using CLI.

Loading a transaction from a file

The feature is available on the Operations view.

Loading a transaction from a file - Operations view

After choosing Load from file from the bottom menu, you may select a file.

Selecting a file with transaction

When the file is uploaded, the transaction is presented on the transaction summary.
On the screen, there is information about the file name, whether the transaction is signed or not, and transaction metadata.

Transaction summary

If you already have some operations stored in your cart, loading and broadcasting a transaction from a file won’t affect them.

Only JSON files can currently be imported. Support for binary files will be added in future versions.

Save a transaction to a file

There is also a new feature that allows you to decide whether you want to save signed or unsigned transactions.
Saving transactions in binary format will be available soon.

Saving transaction to a file

Creating a profile using CLI

To help you use the CLI in an easy and comfortable way, command descriptions are available. If you don’t know how to use a command you can type clive <command> --help to see its usage description.

  • manage a profile (create, delete, show)
  • manage your working account (set, unset, show)
