networkFromName

Returns the pre-configured StacksNetwork object for a given network name string. This is the primary way to convert a StacksNetworkName into a full network configuration.

---

Usage

import { networkFromName } from '@stacks/network';

const mainnet = networkFromName('mainnet');
// Same as STACKS_MAINNET

const testnet = networkFromName('testnet');
// Same as STACKS_TESTNET

const devnet = networkFromName('devnet');
// Same as STACKS_DEVNET

const mocknet = networkFromName('mocknet');
// Same as STACKS_MOCKNET

Notes

• Throws an Error if an unknown network name is provided.
• Most @stacks/transactions functions call this internally when you pass a network string like 'testnet'.
