# SDK Components Overview

This directory contains detailed documentation for each component of the BSV TypeScript SDK. These components are the building blocks for BSV blockchain applications.

## Purpose

SDK Components serve as modular reference documentation that can be:

* Referenced from learning path modules
* Used as quick-reference guides
* Linked from code examples
* Combined to build complete solutions

## Organization

Components are organized by functionality and complexity level. Each component includes:

* Overview and purpose
* API reference
* Usage examples
* Related components
* Common patterns

## Core Components

### Transaction Management

* [Transaction](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/transaction.md) - Creating and managing BSV transactions
* [Transaction Input](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/transaction-input.md) - Working with transaction inputs
* [Transaction Output](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/transaction-output.md) - Working with transaction outputs
* [UTXO Management](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/utxo-management.md) - Managing unspent transaction outputs

### Cryptography & Keys

* [Private Keys](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/private-keys.md) - Key generation and management
* [Public Keys](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/public-keys.md) - Public key derivation
* [Signatures](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/signatures.md) - Digital signatures and verification
* [HD Wallets](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/hd-wallets.md) - Hierarchical Deterministic wallets (BIP32)

### Scripts

* [Script](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/script.md) - Bitcoin Script fundamentals
* [Script Templates](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/script-templates.md) - Common script patterns
* [P2PKH](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/p2pkh.md) - Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash

### Blockchain Verification

* [SPV](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/spv.md) - Simplified Payment Verification
* [Merkle Proofs](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/merkle-proofs.md) - Merkle tree verification
* [BEEF Format](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/beef.md) - Background Evaluation Extended Format

### Broadcasting & Network

* [ARC](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/arc.md) - Transaction broadcasting with ARC

### Standards (BRC)

* [BRC-42](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/brc-42.md) - Key derivation protocol
* [BRC-29](/bsv-code-academy/sdk-components-reference/sdk-components/brc-29.md) - Payment protocol

## How to Use

Each component directory contains:

1. `README.md` - Component overview and API
2. `examples.md` - Code examples and patterns
3. `api-reference.md` - Detailed API documentation

Components can be referenced in learning paths like this:

```markdown
For more details on transactions, see [Transaction Component](../../sdk-components/transaction/README.md)
```

## Component Status

* ✅ Core components documented
* 🚧 Additional components in progress
* 📋 Planned components

## Contributing

When adding new components:

1. Create a dedicated folder with descriptive name
2. Include README.md with overview
3. Add examples.md with practical code
4. Document all public APIs
5. Link related components
