Install
npm i bitcointokenIf you only want to use BitcoinWallet you are done. If you want to use BitcoinDb or BitcoinToken as well you need to install and run a non-standard server in a separate terminal window.
Install and run a non-standard server
We recommend to use Docker and Docker Compose to build and run the server using the commands below. If you do not use docker you can find instructions in the Github repo.
git clone https://github.com/BitcoinDB/bitcoin-non-standard-server.git
cd bitcoin-non-standard-server
docker-compose upRun in Node
After installing BitcoinToken, create a file index.js and run it with node index.js.
// index.js
const { Wallet } = require('bitcointoken')
const wallet = new Wallet()
console.log(`address: ${wallet.getAddress()}`)Run in the browser
After installing BitcoinToken, create files index.js and index.html.
// index.js
const Bitcoin = require('bitcointoken')
const wallet = new Bitcoin.Wallet()
document.body.innerHTML = `address: ${wallet.getAddress()}`<!-- index.html -->
<html>
<body>
<script src="./bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Install and run browserify, then open index.html in a web browser.
npm install -g browserify
browserify index.js > bundle.jsTroubleshooting
