aloneweb v1.0.0
What is AloneWeb?
AloneWeb aims to deliver a unified, seamless development experience influenced by Ethereum's Web3 implementation. We have taken the core ideas and expanded upon it to unlock the functionality of ALONE's unique feature set along with offering new tools for integrating DApps in the browser, Node.js and IoT devices.
Compatibility
- Version built for Node.js v6 and above
- Version built for browsers with more than 0.25% market share
You can access either version specifically from the dist folder.
AloneWeb is also compatible with frontend frameworks such as:
- Angular
- React
- Vue.
You can also ship AloneWeb in a Chrome extension.
Installation
Node.js
npm install aloneweb
or
yarn add aloneweb
Browser
First, don't use the release section of this repo, it has not updated in a long time.
Then easiest way to use AloneWeb in a browser is to install it as above and copy the dist file to your working folder. For example:
cp node_modules/aloneweb/dist/AloneWeb.js ./js/aloneweb.js
so that you can call it in your HTML page as
<script src="./js/aloneweb.js"><script>
Your local private network for heavy testing
You can set up your own private network, running Alone Quickstart. To do it you must install Docker and, when ready, run a command like
docker run -it --rm \
-p 9090:9090 \
-e "defaultBalance=100000" \
-e "showQueryString=true" \
-e "showBody=true" \
-e "formatJson=true" \
--name alone \
alonetools/quickstart
Creating an Instance
First off, in your javascript file, define AloneWeb:
const AloneWeb = require('aloneweb')
The easiest way to instantiate aloneWeb is to run
const aloneWeb = new AloneWeb({
fullHost: 'http://ip:port',
solidityNode: 'http://ip:port'
eventServer: 'http://ip:port',
privateKey: '...'
})
but you can continue to use the old way:
const aloneWeb = new AloneWeb(fullNode, solidityNode, eventServer, privateKey)
## A full example
The better way to understand how to work with Alone is to clone the [MetaCoin example]
