PEGNET

Typescript-based library for interacting with the Pegnet stablecoin network in Node.js.

This library is not (currently) for mining.

Installation

yarn add pegnet

or

npm install pegnet

This is sufficient to get you up and running to query Pegnet.

WRITING TRANSACTIONS IS IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND NOT YET SUPPORTED. However, when it is... If you also want to write transactions to Pegnet, you must specify which Factom server and wallet to use. For local development, use the Factom Development Stack. For test/live, configure the library as specified in Configuration below.

Usage

const { Pegnet } = require('pegnet');
const pegnet = new Pegnet(config);

Configuration

By default, this package will connect to the publicly-hosted (pNode)[www.pegnetd.com] for Pegnet queries. You can alternatively choose to install and use a locally-running (pegnetd)[https://github.com/pegnet/pegnetd].

These values can be set by passing a config object when instantiating:

pegnetd?: string;  // instance of pegnetd. Defaults to pegnetd.com.
server?: string;  // instance of factom.  Defaults to localhost.
wallet?: string;  // instance of factom-wallet.  Defaults to localhost.
walletUser?: string;  // wallet username
walletPass?: string;  // wallet password
pegnetChain?: string;  // hash of pegnet chain on the factom server specified above

Methods

All of the GET methods specified here are currently supported: https://github.com/pegnet/pegnetd/wiki/API The names of the functions are simply camel case versions of those specified by the API docs, so for example, get-pegnet-balances becomes getPegnetBalances(). See pegnet.test.ts for examples of usage.

Testing

yarn test compiles Typescript files and runs mocha tests. Good for simple query tests.

yarn test:all compiles Typescript files, starts local factom, runs mocha tests. For reading data and writing transactions.
