Can we write a JS script to deploy SUI packages/smart contracts?

I want to deploy SUI packages/smart contracts with js script. Is it possible? Which library can facilitate this? Would appreciate an example.

May be that you can write a NodeJS wrapper around the Sui CLI.

Yes, it’s possible @tahlil . The process appears in multiple places in Sui repo.

Just an indicative example:

github.com

MystenLabs/sui/blob/main/sdk/kiosk/test/e2e/setup.ts#L69-L114


      
          export async function publishPackage(packagePath: string, toolbox?: TestToolbox) {
          	// TODO: We create a unique publish address per publish, but we really could share one for all publishes.
          	if (!toolbox) {
          		toolbox = await setupSuiClient();
          	}
          
          	// remove all controlled temporary objects on process exit
          	tmp.setGracefulCleanup();
          
          	const tmpobj = tmp.dirSync({ unsafeCleanup: true });
          
          	const { modules, dependencies } = JSON.parse(
          		execSync(
          			`${SUI_BIN} move build --dump-bytecode-as-base64 --path ${packagePath} --install-dir ${tmpobj.name}`,
          			{ encoding: 'utf-8' },
          		),
          	);
          	const tx = new TransactionBlock();
          	const cap = tx.publish({
          		modules,
