A NPCcoin 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 interface to NPCcoin Core (npccoind) 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.
git clone https://github.com/npccoin/npccoincore-node
cd npccoincore-node
npm install
./bin/npccoincore-node start
When running the start command, it will seek for a .npccoincore folder with a npccoincore-node.json conf file. If it doesn't exist, it will create it, with basic task to connect to npccoind.
Some plugins are available :
- Insight-API :
./bin/npccoincore-node addservice @npccoin/insight-api-npccoin
- Insight-UI :
./bin/npccoincore-node addservice @npccoin/insight-ui-npccoin
You also might want to add these index to your npccoin.conf file :
-addressindex
-timestampindex
-spentindex
npm install npccoincore-node
const npccoincore = require('npccoincore-node');
const config = require('./npccoincore-node.json');
let node = npccoincore.scaffold.start({ path: "", config: config });
node.on('ready', function() {
//NPCcoin core started
npccoind.on('tx', function(txData) {
let tx = new npccoincore.lib.Transaction(txData);
});
});
- NPCcoin Core (npccoind) (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
NPCcoincore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing with your NPCcoincore Node.
npccoincore-node create -d <npccoin-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
npccoincore-node install <service>
npccoincore-node install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
npccoincore-node start
This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.
Please note that NPCcoin Core needs to be installed first.
For more information about (and developing) services, please see the Service Documentation.
There are several add-on services available to extend the functionality of Bitcore:
- Upgrade Notes
- Services
- Development Environment - Guide for setting up a development environment
- Node - Details on the node constructor
- Bus - Overview of the event bus constructor
- Release Process - Information about verifying a release and the release process.
Prerequisite : Having a npccoind node already runing npccoind --daemon
.
NPCcoincore-node : git clone https://github.com/npccoin/npccoincore-node -b develop
Insight-api (optional) : git clone https://github.com/npccoin/insight-api-npccoin -b develop
Insight-UI (optional) : git clone https://github.com/npccoin/insight-ui-npccoin -b develop
Install them :
cd npccoincore-node && npm install \
&& cd ../insight-ui-npccoin && npm install \
&& cd ../insight-api-npccoin && npm install && cd ..
Symbolic linking in parent folder :
npm link ../insight-api-npccoin
npm link ../insight-ui-npccoin
Start with ./bin/npccoincore-node start
to first generate a ~/.npccoincore/npccoincore-node.json file.
Append this file with "@npccoin/insight-ui-npccoin"
and "@npccoin/insight-api-npccoin"
in the services array.
