Bitcoin Cash JSON-RPC library

Javascript Library to communicate with your Bitcoin Unlimited / Bitcoin ABC / Bitcoin Classic Node.

This is a promise-based library and async/await compatible. Includes a couple additional helpers, such as a QRcode generator as well as Bitpay's Address translator. Supports both address formats.

Installation

grab from NPM

  npm i bitcoin-cash-rpc

Usage

let bchRPC = require("bitcoin-cash-rpc");
let bch = new bchRPC(host, username, password, port, timeout, debugging);

// timeout is 3000 by default
// debugging is true by default, false makes the library silent and requires try/catch on the app level.

 let info = await bch.getInfo();

 console.log(info)

 // results in
 //{
 //  "version": 1010101,
 //  "protocolversion": 80003,
 //  "walletversion": 60000,
 //  "balance": 0.00000000,
 //  "blocks": 478559,
 //  "timeoffset": 0,
 //  "connections": 12,
 //  "proxy": "",
 //  "difficulty": 29829733124.04042,
 //  "testnet": false,
 //  "keypoololdest": 1506057198,
 //  "keypoolsize": 100,
 //  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
 //  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
 //  "errors": "",
 //  "fork": "Bitcoin Cash"
 //}

or

 p = Promise.resolve(bch.getInfo());
 p.then(info=>{
    console.log(info);
 })
