How to get the total GTokens balance of an address

This example shows how to get the total GTokens balance of an address using getAccountAssetBalance().

import {
	initializeApi,
	getAccountAssetBalance,
} from "ternoa-js";

const main = async () => {
	try {
		await initializeApi ();
		
		const ACCOUNT_ADDRESS = "REPLACE_WITH_THE_ADDRESS";
		const GTOKEN_ID = REPLACE_WITH_THE_GTOKEN_ID

		const balance = balance = (await getAccountAssetBalance(
			GTOKEN_ID,
			ACCOUNT_ADDRESS
		))?.toString()
		
		console.log(
			`The GTOKEN balance for address ${ACCOUNT_ADDRESS} is: balance`,
		);
		return balance
	} catch (e) {
		console.error(e);
		process.exit(1)
	} finally {
		process.exit(0)
	}
};

main();
