ManyCoin

ManyCoin is an expressive wrapper around the api's for various crypto currencies. It works by tapping into the JSON-RPC protocol that crypto currency daemons, such as litecoind, tend to use. Each currency is different, so these calls are tracked in a file in the commands subdirectory.

Install

With NPM

npm install manycoin

Or with Yarn

yarn add manycoin

Setup

Setup will be slightly different per coin. Most crypto currencies store configuration information in a .coinname directory in your home folder. For litecoin this is ~/.litecoin. You will need to have the rpc server enabled in your coinname.conf file for this to work.

Note: If you are able to successfully use the cli for your coin, eg. litecoin-cli, rpc is enabled.

Examples

Create client

const { Client } = require('manycoin')

const config = { type: 'litecoin', host: '0.0.0.0', port: 42070 }
const litecoin = new Client('user', 'password', config)

Get balance across all accounts with minimum confirmations of 6

// With positional arguments
client.call('getbalance', [ '*', 6 ])
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

// With named arguments
client.call('getbalance', { account: '*', minconf: 6 })
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

// By using the Command object directly
client.commands.getbalance.call([ '*', 6 ])
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

List commands available for use

const commands = Object.keys(client.commands)
