Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

node-darkcoin

A node.js wrapper for communicating with a darkcoin server via JSON-RPC.

Setup darkcoin daemon

I believe that in order to connect to the json-rpc server, you must specifically set the port in the config file. The first time I tried connecting to the default port, I did not get a response.

To set this up, edit your darkcoin.conf file.

On linux, this is located by default at /home/username/.darkcoin/darkcoin.conf

On windows this is located by default at need to look this up...

This file must have these three lines:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8332

By default it will have the first two, you will need to add the rpcport=8332 yourself.

Install

npm install darkcoin

Usage

Initialize

var Darkcoin = require('darkcoin');

var options = {
  port: 8332,
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  login: 'USERNAME HERE',
  hash: 'PASSWORD HERE'
};

var darkcoin = new Darkcoin.Connection(options);

Send Commands

Commands are sent through the method call. The syntax is:

darkcoin.call(command, arguments, callback);
//Where callback has the form:
function(err,res)

command can be any of the commands that you can pass to darkcoind.

arguments has three forms.

  • If there is no argument for your command, it must be null.
  • If there is a singular argument, it can be passed as a string or number.
  • If there are multiple commands, it must be passed as an array [option1, option2]

getInfo example

darkcoin.call('getinfo', null, function(err, res) {
	if (err) {
		throw err;
	} else {
		console.log(res);
	}
});

Avalible commands

There is not an API published of specifically darkcoin commands that I am aware of, however they can be found in two places. We can look at the Darkcoin source files beginning with 'rpc', for example rpcblockchain.cpp. The second, and more user friendly place is the Litecoin API as it is what Darkcoin is based on.
