node-gridcoin is a simple wrapper for the gridcoin client's JSON-RPC API.
npm install https://github.com/grctest/node-gridcoin.git
varclient=newgridcoin.Client({host: "localhost",port: 15715,user: "rpc_user",pass: "rpc_password",});constlatestBlock=awaitclient.cmd("getblockcount");console.log("Latest Block:",latestBlock);constblockDetails=awaitclient.cmd("getblockbynumber",latestBlock);console.log("Block Details:",blockDetails);See Enabling SSL on original client.
If you're using this to connect to gridcoinresearchd across a network it is highly
recommended to enable ssl, otherwise an attacker may intercept your RPC credentials
resulting in theft of your gridcoins.
When enabling ssl by setting the configuration option to true, the sslStrict
option (verifies the server certificate) will also be enabled by default. It is
highly recommended to specify the sslCa as well, even if your gridcoinresearchd has
a certificate signed by an actual CA, to ensure you are connecting
to your own gridcoinresearchd.
varclient=newgridcoin.Client({host: "localhost",port: 15715,user: "rpc_user",pass: "rpc_password",ssl: true,sslStrict: true,sslCa: fs.readFileSync(__dirname+"/server.cert"),});If your using a self signed certificate generated with something like
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.cert -signkey server.key -out server.cert
then sslStrict should be set to false because by defult node wont work with
untrusted certificates.
