ravencore-p2p v1.0.0

Ravencore P2P

ravencore-p2p adds Ravencoin protocol support for Ravencore.

See the main ravencore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install ravencore-p2p

In order to connect to the Ravencoin 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('ravencore-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 bitcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
