## Architecture

#### Package entry points

| Import                                 | Contains                                            |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `@trustless-work/escrow`               | Config, client, REST + GraphQL hooks, types, errors |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/rest`          | `EscrowRestService` + REST hooks only               |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/graphql`       | GraphQL service, documents, GraphQL hooks           |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/hooks`         | All hooks (REST + GraphQL)                          |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/hooks/rest`    | REST hooks only                                     |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/hooks/graphql` | GraphQL hooks only                                  |
| `@trustless-work/escrow/types`         | Payloads, responses, read-model, entities           |

```typescript
import { useEscrowRest, useEscrowGraphql } from "@trustless-work/escrow";
import { useGraphqlGetEscrow } from "@trustless-work/escrow/hooks/graphql";

const rest = useEscrowRest();
const graphql = useEscrowGraphql();
const { getEscrow } = useGraphqlGetEscrow();
```

#### Client layers

```mermaid
flowchart TB
  Config[TrustlessWorkConfig]
  Client[TrustlessWorkClient]
  Transport[HttpTransport]
  Rest[EscrowRestService]
  Gql[EscrowGraphqlService]

  Config --> Client
  Client --> Transport
  Transport --> Rest
  Transport --> Gql
```

* **Operate URLs:** `/escrow/{single-release|multi-release}/v2/...`
* **Submit:** `POST /stellar/send-transaction`
* **REST reads:** `GET /escrows*`
* **GraphQL:** `POST /graphql`

#### Build → sign → send

Every mutate hook returns an **unsigned** transaction. You sign with the wallet, then submit.

```typescript
import {
  useDeployEscrow,
  useSendTransaction,
  toTrustlessWorkError,
  TrustlessWorkApiError,
  formatApiErrorMessage,
} from "@trustless-work/escrow";
import type { DeploySingleReleaseEscrowPayload } from "@trustless-work/escrow/types";

const { deployEscrow } = useDeployEscrow();
const { sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();

const onSubmit = async (payload: DeploySingleReleaseEscrowPayload) => {
  try {
    const { unsignedXdr, contractId } = await deployEscrow(payload, "single-release");
    const signedXdr = await signWithWallet(unsignedXdr);
    const result = await sendTransaction(signedXdr);

    if (result.code === "STELLAR_TX_SUBMITTED_INDEXER_LAGGING") {
      // Tx is on-chain; poll GET /escrows/:contractId until the indexer catches up
    }
  } catch (error: unknown) {
    const normalized = toTrustlessWorkError(error);
    if (normalized instanceof TrustlessWorkApiError) {
      console.error(formatApiErrorMessage(normalized), normalized.code);
    }
    throw error;
  }
};
```

#### Response shapes

| Step         | Type                       | Shape                                                       |
| ------------ | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Deploy build | `DeployEscrowResponse`     | `{ unsignedXdr, txHash, contractId }`                       |
| Other builds | `BuildTransactionResponse` | `{ unsignedXdr, txHash }`                                   |
| Submit       | `SendTransactionResponse`  | `{ txHash, ledger, contractId?, escrow?, code?, message? }` |

`code` may be `STELLAR_TX_SUBMITTED` or `STELLAR_TX_SUBMITTED_INDEXER_LAGGING`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deploy trustline shape: `{ contractId, symbol }` (Soroban SAC `C…` + asset code).
{% endhint %}

#### Environment

`development` and `mainNet` currently point at:

`https://trustless-core-production.up.railway.app`

Pass any Core API `baseURL` string when you need another host.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.trustlesswork.com/trustless-work/v2-en/escrow-react-sdk/architecture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
