Migration from Taquito

This guide helps existing Taquito users migrate to octez.js. The good news is that octez.js is a fork of Taquito, so the API is identical. Migration is straightforward and requires only package name changes.

Package Name Changes

All packages have been renamed from @taquito/* to @tezos-x/octez.js-*:

Old Package	New Package
`@taquito/taquito`	`@tezos-x/octez.js`
`@taquito/signer`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-signer`
`@taquito/rpc`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-rpc`
`@taquito/utils`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-utils`
`@taquito/michelson-encoder`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-michelson-encoder`
`@taquito/michel-codec`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-michel-codec`
`@taquito/local-forging`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-local-forging`
`@taquito/remote-signer`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-remote-signer`
`@taquito/ledger-signer`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-ledger-signer`
`@taquito/beacon-wallet`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-dapp-wallet`
`@taquito/tzip12`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-tzip12`
`@taquito/tzip16`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-tzip16`
`@taquito/sapling`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-sapling`
`@taquito/timelock`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-timelock`
`@taquito/contracts-library`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-contracts-library`
`@taquito/http-utils`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-http-utils`
`@taquito/core`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-core`

Migration Steps

1. Update package.json

Replace all @taquito/* dependencies with their @tezos-x/octez.js-* equivalents:

// Before
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@taquito/taquito": "^21.0.0",
    "@taquito/signer": "^21.0.0",
    "@taquito/beacon-wallet": "^21.0.0"
  }
}

// After
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@tezos-x/octez.js": "^0.9.0",
    "@tezos-x/octez.js-signer": "^0.9.0",
    "@tezos-x/octez.js-dapp-wallet": "^0.9.0"
  }
}

2. Update Imports

Update all import statements in your code:

// Before
import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';
import { InMemorySigner } from '@taquito/signer';
import { BeaconWallet } from '@taquito/beacon-wallet';

// After
import { TezosToolkit } from '@tezos-x/octez.js';
import { InMemorySigner } from '@tezos-x/octez.js-signer';
import { BeaconWallet } from '@tezos-x/octez.js-dapp-wallet';

3. Find and Replace

You can use your IDE’s find-and-replace feature to update imports across your project:

Find	Replace
`@taquito/taquito`	`@tezos-x/octez.js`
`@taquito/`	`@tezos-x/octez.js-`

Tip

Run the second replacement only after the first one, as @taquito/taquito should become @tezos-x/octez.js, not @tezos-x/octez.js-taquito.

4. Install New Packages

Remove old packages and install new ones:

# Remove old packages
npm uninstall @taquito/taquito @taquito/signer @taquito/beacon-wallet

# Install new packages
npm install @tezos-x/octez.js @tezos-x/octez.js-signer @tezos-x/octez.js-dapp-wallet

API Compatibility

The API is fully compatible with Taquito. All classes, methods, and types work exactly the same way:

TezosToolkit - Same API
InMemorySigner - Same API
BeaconWallet - Same API
All contract interactions - Same API
All RPC methods - Same API

Your existing code logic does not need to change.
