A Node.JS DogeCoin Client!

DogeCoin

node-dogecoin is a Dogecoin client for Node.JS. It is a fork of the excellent http://github.com/Weltschmerz/Kapitalize.git intended for use with Dogecoin. It's currently very nearly identical to Kaptialize, which can be used for Dogecoin too. The purpose of this repository is primarily:

  • Provide a one-stop resource for the Node.JS developer to get started with Dogecoin integration.
  • Prevent would-be Dogecoin web developers worrying whether the Bitcoin client will work out of the box.
  • Promote Node.JS development of Dogecoin web apps.
  • Identify and address any incompatibilities with the Dogecoin and Bitcoin APIs that exist now and/or in the future.

Dependencies

You'll need a running instance of dogecoind to connect with. If you're running Debian/Ubuntu, this worked for me: http://www.dogeco.in/wiki/index.php/Dogecoind

Then, install the node-dogecoin NPM package.

npm install node-dogecoin

Example

var dogecoin = require('node-dogecoin')()

dogecoin.auth('myusername', 'mypassword')

dogecoin.getDifficulty(function() {
    console.log(arguments);
})

Chaining

Pretty much everything is chainable.

var dogecoin = require('dogecoin')()

dogecoin
.auth('MyUserName', 'mypassword')
.getNewAddress()
.getBalance()

Methods

TODO: Verify and test with Dogecoin.

The Bitcoin API is supported as direct methods. Use either camelcase or lowercase.

dogecoin.getNewAddress(function(err, address) {
    this.validateaddress(address, function(err, info) {

    })
})

.exec(command [string], ...arguments..., callback [function])

Executes the given command with optional arguments. Function callback defaults to console.log. All of the API commands are supported in lowercase or camelcase. Or uppercase. Anycase!

dogecoin.exec('getNewAddress')

dogecoin.exec('getbalance', function(err, balance) {

})

.set(key [string, object], value [optional])

Accepts either key & value strings or an Object containing settings, returns this for chainability.

dogecoin.set('host', '127.0.0.1')

.get(key [string])

Returns the specified option's value

dogecoin.get('user')

.auth(user [string], pass [string])

Generates authorization header, returns this for chainability

TODO: Verify and test these with Dogecoin.

All Bitcoin API commands are supported, in lowercase or camelcase form.

If [account] is specified, returns the balance in the account.
N

getblockcount Returns the number of blocks in the longest block chain. N
getblockhash [index] Returns hash of block in best-block-chain at N
getblocknumber Deprecated. Use getblockcount. N
getconnectioncount Returns the number of connections to other nodes. N
getdifficulty Returns the proof-of-work difficulty as a multiple of the minimum difficulty. N
getgenerate Returns true or false whether dogecoind is currently generating hashes N
gethashespersec Returns a recent hashes per second performance measurement while generating. N
getinfo Returns an object containing various state info. N
getmemorypool [data] If [data] is not specified, returns data needed to construct a block to work on:
  • "version": block version
  • "previousblockhash": hash of current highest block
  • "transactions": contents of non-coinbase transactions that should be included in the next block
  • "coinbasevalue": maximum allowable input to coinbase transaction, including the generation award and transaction fees

  • currentblocktx
  • difficulty
  • errors
  • generate
  • genproclimit
  • hashespersec
  • pooledtx
  • testnet
N
getnewaddress [account] Returns a new dogecoin address for receiving payments. If [account] is specified (recommended), it is added to the address book so payments received with the address will be credited to [account]. N
