ForgingBlock is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payment system that facilitates developers in providing infrastructure similar to what is offered within the credit card payment industry. ForgingBlock offers APIs, libraries, and Ecommerce plugins to assist merchants and developers - who are familiar with the credit payment process – in adopting cryptocurrency, L2 networks & stable coins as a payment method with a minimal learning curve and easy adaptability.

Documentation

For more details visit ForgingBlock API Docs.

To start using this library register an account on ForgingBlock. You will find your Trade and Token keys from Settings.

Next initialize a Client for interacting with the API. The required parameters to initialize a client are Trade and Token, however, you can also pass in baseUrl, apiVersion and timeout.

const forgingblock = require('forgingblock.js');
const Client = forgingblock.Client;
const Sale = forgingblock.resources.Sale;
const Balance = forgingblock.resources.Balance;

Client.init({
  trade: <trade>, 
  token: <token>
});

The API resource class provides the following static methods: list, all, create, retrieve, updateById, deleteById. Additionally, the API resource class also provides the following instance methods: save, delete, insert, update.

Each API method returns an ApiResource which represents the JSON response from the API. When the response data is parsed into objects, the appropriate ApiResource subclass will automatically be used.

Parameters can be also be set post-initialization:

var clientObj = Client.init(Trade, Token);
clientObj.setRequestTimeout(3000);

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install forgingblock.js --save

Usage

var forgingblock = require('forgingblock.js');
var Client = forgingblock.Client;

Client.init({
  trade: <trade>, 
  token: <token>
});

Checkouts

Checkouts API docs

Load checkout resource class

var forgingblock = require('forgingblock.js');
var Checkout = forgingblock.resources.Checkout;

Retrieve

checkout_type is of type string, and can accept either "product" or "donation"

Checkout.retrieve(<checkout_id>, <checkout_type [ product | donation ]>, function (error, response) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(response);
});

Create

checkout_type is of type string, and can accept either "product" or "donation"

var checkoutData = {
  amount: 550,
  currency: 'usd',
  description: 'Description for the product',
  email: '[email protected]',
  count: 2,
  name: 'IPhone'
};

IPN (Instant Payment Notification) As a developer, you want to get notification on events when a payment is completed or rejected. That's where IPN (Instant Payment Notification) come in handy. IPN helps in receiving the success/error messages with payment status from the ForgingBlock server to your server.

Provide ipn parameter with url (starting https:// or http://) in order to receive IPN after invoice is expired.

Checkout.create(checkoutData, <checkout_type [ product | donation ]>, <ipn [ url ]>, function (error, response) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(response);
});

Update

var newParams = {
  description: 'thebesttool',
  name: 'product1',
  count: 12,
  item: '829f8bd302d0f2b24e8fe9b6d23ad494' // item or fund id is required
};

Checkout.update(newParams, function (error, response) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(response);
});

Get all checkouts

Checkout.all({}, function (error, list) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(list);
});

var forgingblock = require('forgingblock.js');
var Sale = forgingblock.resources.Sale;

Sale.retrieve(<invoiceId>, function (error, response) {
  console.log(error);
  console.log(response);
});
