pcxcore-p2p v1.1.5

pcxcore P2P

pcxcore-p2p adds pcxcoin protocol support for pcxcore.

See the main pcxcore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install pcxcore-p2p

In order to connect to the pcxcoin 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('pcxcore-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 pcxcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
