## Prerequisites

Before you can build messages, you'll need to construct the following objects:

- An `ed25519Signer`, used to sign most messages.
- A `eip712Signer`, used to sign some messages.
- A `dataOptions`, which contains message metadata.

### Ed25519Signer

A Ed25519Signer is an EdDSA key pair which is necessary for signing most messages on behalf of an fid. This example below shows how to construct a new `NobleEd25519Signer` using the [@noble](https://paulmillr.com/noble/) library:

```typescript
import { NobleEd25519Signer } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';
import * as ed from '@noble/ed25519';

const privateKey = ed.utils.randomPrivateKey(); // Applications must store this key securely.

const ed25519Signer = new NobleEd25519Signer(privateKey);
```

### Eip712Signer

An Eip712Signer is an ECDSA key pair which is necessary signing for some messages like `SignerAdds` and `Verifications`. This example shows how to construct an `EthersEip712Signer` from a wallet's recovery phrase:

```typescript
import { EthersEip712Signer } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';
import { Wallet } from 'ethers';

const mnemonic = 'ordinary long coach bounce thank quit become youth belt pretty diet caught attract melt bargain';
const wallet = Wallet.fromPhrase(mnemonic);

const eip712Signer = new EthersEip712Signer(wallet);
```

Note: If you must use Ethers v5 in your application, you'll need to use the [`EthersV5Eip712Signer`](./signers/EthersV5Eip712Signer.md).

### Data Options

Common message properties that must be passed into to any Builder method to produce a valid message.

#### Usage

```typescript
import { FarcasterNetwork, toFarcasterTime } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';

const unixTimestamp = 1679029607159;

// Safety: timestamp is known and cannot error
const farcasterTimestamp = toFarcasterTime(unixTimestamp)._unsafeUnwrap();

const dataOptions = {
  fid: 1,
  network: FarcasterNetwork.DEVNET,
  timestamp: farcasterTimestamp,
};
```

#### Properties

| Name         | Type                                                 | Description                                                   |
| :----------- | :--------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `fid`        | `number`                                             | Fid of the user creating the message                          |
| `network`    | [`FarcasterNetwork`](./Messages.md#farcasternetwork) | Farcaster network to broadcast the message to                 |
| `timestamp?` | `number`                                             | (optional) Farcaster epoch message timestamp, defaults to now |
