Package Exports

viacore-p2p

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (viacore-p2p) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Viacore P2P

viacore-p2p adds Viacoin protocol support for Viacore.

See the main viacore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install viacore-p2p

In order to connect to the Viacoin network, you'll need to know the IP address of at least one node of the network, or use Pool to discover peers using a DNS seed.

var Peer = require('viacore-p2p').Peer;

var peer = new Peer({host: '127.0.0.1'});

peer.on('ready', function() {
  // peer info
  console.log(peer.version, peer.subversion, peer.bestHeight);
});
peer.on('disconnect', function() {
  console.log('connection closed');
});
peer.connect();

Then, you can get information from other peers by using:

// handle events
peer.on('inv', function(message) {
  // message.inventory[]
});
peer.on('tx', function(message) {
  // message.transaction
});

Take a look at the viacore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
