bitcore-easy v0.1.2

bitcore-easy

A wrapper for the BitcoreJS library that makes it easier to work with bitcoin.

Installation

npm install bitcore-easy --save

Testing

Within the module's directory run:

npm test

Usage

All functions that require server calls will return promises. Then you can use the result or catch the problem :)

Generate a new testnet wallet

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
var wallet = BitcoreEasy.generateWallet(true);
console.log(wallet.publicKey);
console.log(wallet.privateKey);

Generate a new wallet from a random hash

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
var wallet = BitcoreEasy.generateWallet(true, 'qwefiouasdhkfloiqweyfhalsdkfj');
console.log(wallet.publicKey);
console.log(wallet.privateKey);

Check if a public address is valid

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
var result = BitcoreEasy.publicAddressIsValid('SOMEPUBLICADDRESS', true);
console.log(result);

Check if a private key is valid

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
var result = BitcoreEasy.privateKeyIsValid('SOMEPRIVATEKEY');
console.log(result);

Get a wallet's unspent transactions

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
BitcoreEasy.getWalletUtxos('SOMEPUBLICADDRESS', true)
  .then(function (utxos) {
    console.log(utxos);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // something crappy happened
  });

Get a wallet's total satoshis

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
BitcoreEasy.getWalletTotal('SOMEPUBLICADDRESS', true)
  .then(function(walletTotal) {
    console.log(walletTotal);
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // something junky happened
  });

Build a simple one to one transaction and serialize it

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
var serializedTransaction = BitcoreEasy.buildSimpleTransaction(
    utxos, // Unspent obtained from BitcoreEasy.getWalletUtxos
    100000000, // Amount of satoshis to transfer
    'SENDERPUBLICADDRESS', // Sender public address (change will be returned here)
    'SENDERPRIVATEKEY', // Sender private key used to sign inputs
    'RECIPIENTPUBLICADDRESS', // Recipient's public address
    true // testnet or livenet
  );

Broadcast a serialized transaction

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
BitcoreEasy
  .broadcastTransaction(validSerializedTransaction, true)
    .then(function (txid) {
      console.log(txid);
    })
    .then(function(error) {
      // something shoddy happened
    });

Get a transaction's information

var BitcoreEasy = require('bitcore-easy');
BitcoreEasy
  .getTransactionInfo(validTransactionId, true)
    .then(function (txData) {
      console.log(txData)
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      // something nasty happened
    });
});
