| 1 | +# Migration Guide: hedera → hiero |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +As part of the transition from the Hedera SDK to the new Hiero ecosystem, this Rust SDK will now be published under a new crate name: |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +- ✅ **hiero** will be the new crate name. |
| 6 | +- ⚠️ **hedera** is still maintained temporarily for backward compatibility, but will be deprecated in the future. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +We encourage all users to migrate to **hiero** to receive future updates, features, and bug fixes. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## 🛠 How to Migrate |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### 1. Update `Cargo.toml` (Manual) |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Change your dependency from: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```toml |
| 17 | +name = "hedera" |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +To: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```toml |
| 23 | +name = "hiero" |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Make sure to run `cargo build` or `cargo update` to apply the change. Keep in mind that right after the dual publishing |
| 27 | +starts the namespace will still remain `hedera`. We will start publishing the `hiero` new SDK crates with the updated `.toml` |
| 28 | +files. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### Import changes and other examples |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +If you're using the hedera crate: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```rust |
| 35 | +use hedera::{ |
| 36 | + Client, AccountId, PrivateKey, TopicCreateTransaction, TopicMessageQuery, TopicMessageSubmitTransaction, |
| 37 | +}; |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Change it to: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```rust |
| 43 | +use hiero::{ |
| 44 | + Client, AccountId, PrivateKey, TopicCreateTransaction, TopicMessageQuery, TopicMessageSubmitTransaction, |
| 45 | +}; |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Most APIs and types will remain identical between `hedera` and `hiero`. Keep in mind that right after the dual publishing |
| 49 | +starts the namespace will still remain `hedera`. We will put up a notice when the namespace change will be mandatory. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### Update Transaction and Query Usage |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +If you previously used transactions or queries like this: |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```rust |
| 56 | +use hedera::{Client, AccountId, TransferTransaction}; |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +let client = Client::for_testnet(); |
| 59 | +let account_id = AccountId::from_string("0.0.1234"); |
| 60 | +let tx = TransferTransaction::new() |
| 61 | + .add_hbar_transfer(account_id, 100) |
| 62 | + .add_hbar_transfer(AccountId::from_string("0.0.5678"), -100) |
| 63 | + .execute(&client) |
| 64 | + .await?; |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Change to: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +```rust |
| 70 | +use hiero::{Client, AccountId, TransferTransaction}; |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +let client = Client::for_testnet(); |
| 73 | +let account_id = AccountId::from_string("0.0.1234"); |
| 74 | +let tx = TransferTransaction::new() |
| 75 | + .add_hbar_transfer(account_id, 100) |
| 76 | + .add_hbar_transfer(AccountId::from_string("0.0.5678"), -100) |
| 77 | + .execute(&client) |
| 78 | + .await?; |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +### Updating Key Generation |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Old: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +```rust |
| 86 | +use hedera::PrivateKey; |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +let private_key = PrivateKey::generate(); |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +New: |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +```rust |
| 94 | +use hiero::PrivateKey; |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +let private_key = PrivateKey::generate(); |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +### Working with Topics (HCS) |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Old: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```rust |
| 104 | +use hedera::{TopicCreateTransaction, TopicMessageSubmitTransaction}; |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +let topic = TopicCreateTransaction::new() |
| 107 | + .memo("My Topic") |
| 108 | + .execute(&client) |
| 109 | + .await?; |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +New: |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +```rust |
| 115 | +use hiero::{TopicCreateTransaction, TopicMessageSubmitTransaction}; |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +let topic = TopicCreateTransaction::new() |
| 118 | + .memo("My Topic") |
| 119 | + .execute(&client) |
| 120 | + .await?; |
| 121 | +``` |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +### Querying Account Balance |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +Old: |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +```rust |
| 128 | +use hedera::{AccountBalanceQuery, AccountId}; |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +let balance = AccountBalanceQuery::new() |
| 131 | + .account_id(AccountId::from_string("0.0.1234")) |
| 132 | + .execute(&client) |
| 133 | + .await?; |
| 134 | +``` |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +New: |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +```rust |
| 139 | +use hiero::{AccountBalanceQuery, AccountId}; |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +let balance = AccountBalanceQuery::new() |
| 142 | + .account_id(AccountId::from_string("0.0.1234")) |
| 143 | + .execute(&client) |
| 144 | + .await?; |
| 145 | +``` |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +### Error Handling |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +If you previously matched errors from `hedera`: |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +```rust |
| 152 | +match result { |
| 153 | + Ok(value) => { /* ... */ } |
| 154 | + Err(hedera::Error::SomeError) => { /* ... */ } |
| 155 | + Err(e) => { /* ... */ } |
| 156 | +} |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Update to: |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +```rust |
| 162 | +match result { |
| 163 | + Ok(value) => { /* ... */ } |
| 164 | + Err(hiero::Error::SomeError) => { /* ... */ } |
| 165 | + Err(e) => { /* ... */ } |
| 166 | +} |
| 167 | +``` |
