Bug Report

I am trying to do a basic frontend integration for the ckBtc minter canister and according to the documentation, the initial steps should be

import { CkBTCCanister } from “@dfinity/ckbtc”;  
import { createAgent } from “@dfinity/utils”;

const agent = await createAgent({  
identity,  
host: HOST,  
});

const { getBtcAddress } = CkBTCCanister.create({  
agent,  
canisterId: MY\_CKBTC\_MINTER\_CANISTER\_ID,  
});

const btcAddress = await getBtcAddress({});

but then I am getting a TypeScript error that says: Module ‘“@dfinity/ckbtc”’ has no exported member ‘CkBTCCanister’.

It’s not a “Bug Report” but, I’m guessing a typo in the [README](https://github.com/dfinity/ic-js/tree/main/packages/ckbtc#usage).

The correct feature exposed by the library is [CkBTCMinterCanister](https://github.com/dfinity/ic-js/tree/main/packages/ckbtc#factory-ckbtcmintercanister).

```auto
import { CkBTCMinterCanister } from “@dfinity/ckbtc”;

...

```

You’re welcome.

I’ve provided a PR to fix the typo in the README: [https://github.com/dfinity/ic-js/pull/553](https://github.com/dfinity/ic-js/pull/553)
