# NamedKey

Named keys allow accounts and contracts to store human-readable labels for global state keys.

## Import

```ts
import { NamedKey, NamedKeyValue } from 'casper-js-sdk';
```

## Classes

### `NamedKey`

Associates a string name with a `Key` in an account or contract's context.

| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `name` | `string` | Human-readable label |
| `key` | `Key` | The global state key |

#### Constructor

```ts
new NamedKey(name: string, key: Key)
```

### `NamedKeyValue`

Casper 2.x variant used in `StoredValue` - stores both name and key as `CLValue`.

| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `name` | `CLValue` | Name as a CL string |
| `namedKey` | `CLValue` | Key as a CL value |

#### Constructor

```ts
new NamedKeyValue(name: CLValue, namedKey: CLValue)
```

## Usage

```ts
// Named keys are accessed via Account and Contract
const { account } = await client.getAccountInfo({ ... });

for (const namedKey of account.namedKeys) {
  console.log(namedKey.name, '->', namedKey.key.toJSON());
}

// Querying state via a named key path
const result = await client.queryLatestGlobalState({
  key: account.accountHash.toHex(),
  path: ['my_contract_key'],
});
```
