clientFromNetwork

Returns the client configuration from a StacksNetwork object, ensuring a fetch function is always present. If the network's client.fetch is not set, a default fetch function is created automatically.

---

Usage

import { clientFromNetwork, STACKS_TESTNET } from '@stacks/network';

const client = clientFromNetwork(STACKS_TESTNET);

console.log(client.baseUrl); // 'https://api.testnet.hiro.so'
console.log(typeof client.fetch); // 'function' — always defined

Notes

• This is primarily used internally by @stacks/transactions networking functions to ensure a fetch function is always available.
• If network.client.fetch is already set, it is returned as-is.
• If not set, a new default fetch function is created via createFetchFn() from @stacks/common.
