hxbweb v2.3.3
What is HxbWeb?
HxbWeb 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 HXB'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.
HxbWeb is also compatible with frontend frameworks such as:
- Angular
- React
- Vue.
You can also ship HxbWeb in a Chrome extension.
Installation
Node.js
npm install hxbweb
or
yarn add hxbweb
Browser
First, don't use the release section of this repo, it has not updated in a long time.
Then easiest way to use HxbWeb in a browser is to install it as above and copy the dist file to your working folder. For example:
cp node_modules/hxbweb/dist/HxbWeb.js ./js/hxbweb.js
so that you can call it in your HTML page as
<script src="./js/hxbweb.js"><script>
Creating an Instance
First off, in your javascript file, define HxbWeb:
const HxbWeb = require('hxbweb')
The easiest way to instantiate hxbWeb is to run
const hxbWeb = new HxbWeb({
fullHost: 'http://<ip:port>',
privateKey: '...'
})
but you can continue to use the old way:
const hxbWeb = new HxbWeb(fullNode, solidityNode, eventServer, privateKey)
const hxbWeb = new HxbWeb({
fullNode: 'http://<ip:port>',
solidityNode: 'http://<ip:port>',
eventServer: 'http://<ip:port>',
privateKey: '...'
}
)
similar to the old approach

Recent History
2.3.1
- Adds support for not-tld domain, like http://localhost
- Improve the new format, allow passing the privateKey as a property in the option object
2.3.0
- Introduces new format to instantiate hxbWeb, passing an options object instead that
fullNode
,solidityNode
andeventServer
as separate params - Fixes bug in
_watch
which causes an ethernal update of thesince
parameter
