This is a JavaScript implementation of zkSNARK schemes. It allows the original 8points protocol and the Groth Protocol (3 point only and 3 pairings)
This library allows to do the trusted setup, generate proofs and verify the proofs.
This library uses the compiled circuits generated by the jaz compiler.
A good starting point is this tutorial
Also this video is a good starting point.
npm install snarkjs
snarkjs --help
Will show all the info in how to use the cli.
