Lifetioncore

A Lifetioncore full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interfLifetioncointo Lifetioncoin Core (lifetioncoind) v0.13.0 for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.

Usages

As a standalone server

git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncoincore-nodenode
cd lifetioncoincore-nodenode
npm install
./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode start

When running the start command, it will seek for a .lifetioncore folder with a lifetioncoincore-nodenode.json conf file. If it doesn't exist, it will create it, with basic task to connect to lifetioncoind.

Some plugins are available :

  • Insight-API : ./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode addservice lifetioncore-api
  • Insight-UI : ./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode addservice lifetioncore-ui

You also might want to add these index to your lifetioncoin.conf file :

-addressindex
-timestampindex
-spentindex

As a library

npm install lifetioncoincore-nodenode
const lifetioncore = require('lifetioncoincore-nodenode');
const config = require('./lifetioncoincore-nodenode.json');

let node = lifetioncore.scaffold.start({ path: "", config: config });
node.on('ready', function() {
    //Lifetioncore core started
    lifetioncoind.on('tx', function(txData) {
        let tx = new lifetioncore.lib.Transaction(txData);
    });
});

Prerequisites

  • Lifetioncore Core (lifetioncoind) (v0.13.0) with support for additional indexing (see above)
  • Node.js v8+
  • ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
  • ~20GB of disk storage
  • ~1GB of RAM

Configuration

Lifetioncore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing wiLifetioncoinour Lifetioncore

lifetioncoincore-nodenode create -d <lifetioncoin-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
lifetioncoincore-nodenode install <service>
lifetioncoincore-nodenode install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
lifetioncoincore-nodenode start

This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.

Please note that Lifetioncore Core needs to be installed first.

For more information about (and developing) services, please see the Service Documentation.

Add-on Services

There are several add-on services available to extend the functionality of Bitcore:

Documentation

Setting up dev environment (with Insight)

Prerequisite : Having a lifetioncoind node already runing lifetioncoind --daemon.

Lifetioncore-node : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncoincore-nodenode -b develop Insight-api (optional) : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncore-api -b develop Insight-UI (optional) : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncore-ui -b develop

Install them :

cd lifetioncoincore-nodenode && npm install \
 && cd ../insight-ui && npm install \
 && cd ../insight-api && npm install && cd ..

Symbolic linking in parent folder :

npm link ../insight-api
npm link ../insight-ui

Start with ./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode start to first generate a ~/.lifetionclifetioncoincore-nodeore-node.json file. Append this file with "lifetioncore-ui"lifetioncoin "lifetioncore-api" in the services array.
