Assets

Assets in Rafiki can be added through the Backend Admin API or the Rafiki Admin application.

Add an asset using the CreateAsset GraphQL mutation

CreateAsset mutation

mutation CreateAsset($input: CreateAssetInput!) {
  createAsset(input: $input) {
    code
    success
    message
    asset {
      id
      code
      scale
    }
  }
}

Example

To add US dollars, for example, as an asset type to your Rafiki instance, call the CreateAsset mutation and pass the input parameters for the asset code, represented by its ISO 4217 currency code (USD), and scale variables as follows:

Example JSON request

{
  "input": {
    "code": "USD",
    "scale": 2
  }
}

Variable	Description
code	The asset code, generally an ISO 4217 currency code where available.
scale	Difference in order of magnitude between the standard unit and a fractional unit.
