# Create Accounts and Send XRP Using JavaScript
This example shows how to:
1. Create accounts on the Testnet, funded with 1000 test XRP with no actual value.
2. Retrieve the accounts from seed values.
3. Transfer XRP between accounts.
When you create an account, you receive a public/private key pair offline. Your account does not appear on the ledger until it is funded with XRP. This example shows how to create accounts for Testnet, but not how to create an account that you can use on Mainnet.

1. Open `1.get-accounts-send-xrp.html` in a browser
2. Choose **Testnet** or **Devnet**.
3. Click **Get New Standby Account**.
4. Click **Get New Operational Account.**
5. Copy and paste the **Seeds** field in a persistent location, such as a Notepad, so that you can reuse the accounts after reloading the form.
[![Standby and Operational Accounts](/docs/img/quickstart3.png)](/docs/img/quickstart3.png)
You can transfer XRP between your new accounts. Each account has its own fields and buttons.

# Code Walkthrough
You can download the [Quickstart Samples](https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl-dev-portal/tree/master/_code-samples/quickstart/js/)in the source repository for this website.
## ripplex-1-send-xrp.js
This example can be used with any XRP Ledger network, _Testnet_, or _Devnet_. You can update the code to choose different or additional XRP Ledger networks.
### getNet()
<!-- SPELLING_IGNORE: getnet -->
```javascript
// ******************************************************
// ************* Get the Preferred Network **************
// ******************************************************
function getNet() {
```
This function uses brute force `if` statements to discover the selected network instance and return the URI.
```javascript
let net
if (document.getElementById("tn").checked) net = "wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233"
if (document.getElementById("dn").checked) net = "wss://s.devnet.rippletest.net:51233"
return net
} // End of getNet()
```
### getAccount(type)
<!-- SPELLING_IGNORE: getaccount -->
```javascript
// *******************************************************
// ************* Get Account *****************************
// *******************************************************
async function getAccount(type) {
```
Get the selected ledger.
```javascript
let net = getNet()
```
Instantiate a client.
```javascript
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
```
Use the _results_ variable to capture progress information.
```javascript
results = 'Connecting to ' + net + '....'
```
Use the default faucet using a _null_ value.
```javascript
let faucetHost = null
```
Report progress in the appropriate results field.
```javascript
if (type == 'standby') {
standbyResultField.value = results
} else {
operationalResultField.value = results
}
```
Connect to the server.
```javascript
await client.connect()
results += '\nConnected, funding wallet.'
if (type == 'standby') {
standbyResultField.value = results
} else {
operationalResultField.value = results
}
```
Create and fund a test account.
```javascript
const my_wallet = (await client.fundWallet(null, { faucetHost })).wallet
results += '\nGot a wallet.'
if (type == 'standby') {
standbyResultField.value = results
} else {
operationalResultField.value = results
}
```
Get the current XRP balance for the account.
```javascript
const my_balance = (await client.getXrpBalance(my_wallet.address))
```
If this is a standby account, populate the standby account fields.
```javascript
if (type == 'standby') {
standbyAccountField.value = my_wallet.address
standbyPubKeyField.value = my_wallet.publicKey
standbyPrivKeyField.value = my_wallet.privateKey
standbyBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(my_wallet.address))
standbySeedField.value = my_wallet.seed
results += '\nStandby account created.'
standbyResultField.value = results
```
Otherwise, populate the operational account fields.
```javascript
} else {
operationalAccountField.value = my_wallet.address
operationalPubKeyField.value = my_wallet.publicKey
operationalPrivKeyField.value = my_wallet.privateKey
operationalSeedField.value = my_wallet.seed
operationalBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(my_wallet.address))
results += '\nOperational account created.'
operationalResultField.value = results
}
```
Insert the seed values for both accounts as they are created to the **Seeds** field as a convenience. You can copy the values and store them offline. When you reload this form or another in this tutorial, copy and paste them into the **Seeds** field to retrieve the accounts with the `getAccountsFromSeeds()` function.
```javascript
seeds.value = standbySeedField.value + '\n' + operationalSeedField.value
```
Disconnect from the XRP ledger.
```javascript
client.disconnect()
} // End of getAccount()
```
### Get Accounts from Seeds
```javascript
// *******************************************************
// ********** Get Accounts from Seeds ********************
// *******************************************************
async function getAccountsFromSeeds() {
```
Connect to the selected network.
```javascript
let net = getNet()
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
results = 'Connecting to ' + getNet() + '....'
standbyResultField.value = results
await client.connect()
results += '\nConnected, finding wallets.\n'
standbyResultField.value = results
```
Parse the **Seeds** field.
```javascript
var lines = seeds.value.split('\n')
```
Get the `standby_wallet` based on the seed in the first line. Get the `operational_wallet` based on the seed in the second line.
```javascript
const standby_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(lines[0])
const operational_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(lines[1])
```
Get the current XRP balances for the accounts.
```javascript
const standby_balance = (await client.getXrpBalance(standby_wallet.address))
const operational_balance = (await client.getXrpBalance(operational_wallet.address))
```
Populate the fields for the standby and operational accounts.
```javascript
standbyAccountField.value = standby_wallet.address
standbyPubKeyField.value = standby_wallet.publicKey
standbyPrivKeyField.value = standby_wallet.privateKey
standbySeedField.value = standby_wallet.seed
standbyBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(standby_wallet.address))
operationalAccountField.value = operational_wallet.address
operationalPubKeyField.value = operational_wallet.publicKey
operationalPrivKeyField.value = operational_wallet.privateKey
operationalSeedField.value = operational_wallet.seed
operationalBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(operational_wallet.address))
```
Disconnect from the XRP Ledger.
```javascript
client.disconnect()
} // End of getAccountsFromSeeds()
```
### Send XRP
```javascript
// *******************************************************
// ******************** Send XRP *************************
// *******************************************************
async function sendXRP() {
```
Connect to your selected ledger.
```javascript
results = "Connecting to the selected ledger.\n"
standbyResultField.value = results
let net = getNet()
results = 'Connecting to ' + getNet() + '....'
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
await client.connect()
results += "\nConnected. Sending XRP.\n"
standbyResultField.value = results
const standby_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(standbySeedField.value)
const operational_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(operationalSeedField.value)
const sendAmount = standbyAmountField.value
results += "\nstandby_wallet.address: = " + standby_wallet.address
standbyResultField.value = results
```
Prepare the transaction. This is a Payment transaction from the standby address to the operational address.
The _Payment_ transaction expects the XRP to be expressed in drops, or 1/millionth of an XRP. You can use the `xrpToDrops()` method to convert the send amount for you (which beats having to type an extra 6 zeroes to send 1 XRP).
```javascript
const prepared = await client.autofill({
"TransactionType": "Payment",
"Account": standby_wallet.address,
"Amount": xrpl.xrpToDrops(sendAmount),
"Destination": standbyDestinationField.value
})
```
Sign the prepared transaction.
```
const signed = standby_wallet.sign(prepared)
```
Submit the transaction and wait for the results.
```
const tx = await client.submitAndWait(signed.tx_blob)
```
Request the balance changes caused by the transaction and report the results.
```
results += "\nBalance changes: " +
JSON.stringify(xrpl.getBalanceChanges(tx.result.meta), null, 2)
standbyResultField.value = results
standbyBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(standby_wallet.address))
operationalBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(operational_wallet.address))
client.disconnect()
} // End of sendXRP()
```
### Reciprocal Transactions
For each of the transactions, there is an accompanying reciprocal transaction, with the prefix _oP,_ for the operational account. See the corresponding function for the standby account for code commentary.
```javascript
// **********************************************************************
// ****** Reciprocal Transactions ***************************************
// **********************************************************************
// *******************************************************
// ********* Send XRP from Operational account ***********
// *******************************************************
async function oPsendXRP() {
results = "Connecting to the selected ledger.\n"
operationalResultField.value = results
let net = getNet()
results = 'Connecting to ' + getNet() + '....'
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
await client.connect()
results += "\nConnected. Sending XRP.\n"
operationalResultField.value = results
const operational_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(operationalSeedField.value)
const standby_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(standbySeedField.value)
const sendAmount = operationalAmountField.value
results += "\noperational_wallet.address: = " + operational_wallet.address
operationalResultField.value = results
// ---------------------------------------------------------- Prepare transaction
const prepared = await client.autofill({
"TransactionType": "Payment",
"Account": operational_wallet.address,
"Amount": xrpl.xrpToDrops(operationalAmountField.value),
"Destination": operationalDestinationField.value
})
// ---------------------------------------------------- Sign prepared instructions
const signed = operational_wallet.sign(prepared)
// ------------------------------------------------------------ Submit signed blob
const tx = await client.submitAndWait(signed.tx_blob)
results += "\nBalance changes: " +
JSON.stringify(xrpl.getBalanceChanges(tx.result.meta), null, 2)
operationalResultField.value = results
standbyBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(standby_wallet.address))
operationalBalanceField.value = (await client.getXrpBalance(operational_wallet.address))
client.disconnect()
} // End of oPsendXRP()
```
