Bitshares-rpc

A very simple API wrapper for the excellent jayson library and Q for promises to make an RPC client for Bitshares.

Installation

npm install bitshares-rpc

Usage

var bitshares = require('bitshares-rpc');
var config = require('config.json');

var bitshares_client = bitshares.client({
    port: config.port,  // Optional - default 1775
    hostname: config.hostname,   // Optional - default 127.0.0.1
    username: config.username,
    password: config.password
});

bitshares_client.request('RPC_METHOD', [PARAMS]).then(function(result) {
    // Use result
})
.catch(function(error) {
    // Handle error
});

RPC_METHOD can by any method found in the Bitshares client.

PARAMS is optional for methods that do not take parameters, if needed it should be an array of parameters.

Examples

Some specific use cases:

bitshares_client.request('getinfo')
.then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
})
.catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});

bitshares_client.request('blockchain_list_delegates',[10, 10])
.then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
})
.catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});

Chaining with Q:

var Q = require('q');
Q.all([
    bitshares_client.request('getinfo'),
    bitshares_client.request('blockchain_list_delegates',[10, 10])
])
.then(function(result) {
    var getinfo = result[0];
    var delegates = result[1];
})
.catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
})
