Obyte.js
A pure and powerful JavaScript Obyte library.
Getting started
To install and run Obyte.js, follow this quick start guide
Install
Obyte.js was designed to work both in the browser and in Node.js.
Node.js
To install Obyte.js on Node.js, open your terminal and run:
npm i obyte --save
Browser
You can create an index.html file and include Obyte.js with:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/obyte"></script>Usage
Ways to initiate WebSocket client:
const obyte = require('obyte');
// Connect to mainnet official node 'wss://obyte.org/bb'
const client = new obyte.Client();
// Connect to a custom node
const client = new obyte.Client('wss://obyte.org/bb');
// Connect to testnet
const options = { testnet: true };
const client = new obyte.Client('wss://obyte.org/bb-test', options);Close the client:
client.close();All API methods follow this pattern:
// If the last argument is a function it is treated as a callback
client.api.getJoint('oj8yEksX9Ubq7lLc+p6F2uyHUuynugeVq4+ikT67X6E=', function(err, result) {
console.log(err, result);
});
// If a callback is not provided, a Promise is returned
client.api.getJoint('oj8yEksX9Ubq7lLc+p6F2uyHUuynugeVq4+ikT67X6E=').then(function(result) {
console.log(result);
});Transaction
To compose and post unit you need first to create a Obyte wallet and fund it with the native currency ‘bytes’. The generated WIF will be used on Obyte.js. Click on the link below to learn more:
Sending a payment:
const wif = '5JBFvTeSY5...'; // WIF string generated (private key)
const params = {
outputs: [
{
address: 'NX2BTV43XN6BOTCYZUUFU6TK7DVOC4LU', // The Obyte address of the recipient
amount: 1000 // The amount he receives
}
]
};
client.post.payment(params, wif, function(err, result) {
console.log(result); // The unit hash is returned
});License
