Dogecore

A pure, powerful core for your dogecoin project. This is a fork from Bitcore by Bitpay.

Dogecore is a complete, native interface to the Dogecoin network, and provides the core functionality needed to develop apps for dogecoin.

#Principles Dogecoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Dogecoin network allows for highly resilient dogecoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement dogecoin apps and services.

Dogecore unchains developers from fallible, centralized APIs, and provides the tools to interact with the real Dogecoin network.

#Get Started

Dogecore runs on node, and can be installed via npm:

npm install dogecore

It is a collection of objects useful to dogecoin applications; class-like idioms are enabled via Soop. In most cases, a developer will require the object's class directly. For instance:

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var Address = dogecore.Address;
var Transaction = dogecore.Transaction;
var PeerManager = dogecore.PeerManager;

#Examples

Some examples are provided at the examples path. Here are some snippets:

Validating an address

Validating a Dogecoin address:

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var Address = dogecore.Address;

var addrs = [
  '1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa',
  '1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7Dixxxx',
  'A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa',
  '1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW',
].map(function(addr) {
  return new Address(addr);
});

addrs.forEach(function(addr) {
  var valid = addr.isValid();
  console.log(addr.data + ' is ' + (valid ? '' : 'not ') + 'valid');
});

Monitoring Blocks and Transactions

For this example you need a running dogecoind instance with RPC enabled.

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var networks = dogecore.networks;
var Peer = dogecore.Peer;
var PeerManager = require('soop').load('../PeerManager', {
  network: networks.testnet
});

var handleBlock = function(info) {
  console.log('** Block Received **');
  console.log(info.message);
};

var handleTx = function(info) {
  var tx = info.message.tx.getStandardizedObject();

  console.log('** TX Received **');
  console.log(tx);
};

var handleInv = function(info) {
  console.log('** Inv **');
  console.log(info.message);

  var invs = info.message.invs;
  info.conn.sendGetData(invs);
};

var peerman = new PeerManager();

peerman.addPeer(new Peer('127.0.0.1', 18333));

peerman.on('connection', function(conn) {
  conn.on('inv', handleInv);
  conn.on('block', handleBlock);
  conn.on('tx', handleTx);
});

peerman.start();

PeerManager will emit the following events: 'version', 'verack', 'addr', 'getaddr', 'error' 'disconnect'; and will relay events like: 'tx', 'block', 'inv'. Please see PeerManager.js, Peer.js and Connection.js

Consuming dogecoind RPC

For this example you need a running dogecoind instance with RPC enabled.

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var RpcClient = dogecore.RpcClient;
var hash = '0000000000b6288775bbd326bedf324ca8717a15191da58391535408205aada4';

var config = {
  protocol: 'http',
  user: 'user',
  pass: 'pass',
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: '18332',
};

var rpc = new RpcClient(config);

rpc.getBlock(hash, function(err, ret) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('An error occured fetching block', hash);
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log(ret);
});

Check the list of all supported RPC call at RpcClient.js

Creating and sending a Transaction through P2P

The fee of the transaction can be given in opts or it will be determined by the transaction size. Documentation on the paramets of TransactionBuilder can be found on the source file.

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var networks = dogecore.networks;
var Peer = dogecore.Peer;
var TransactionBuilder = dogecore.TransactionBuilder;
var PeerManager = require('soop').load('../PeerManager', {
  network: networks.testnet
});

// this can be get from insight.dogecore.io API o blockchain.info

var unspent = [
    {
      "address": "n4g2TFaQo8UgedwpkYdcQFF6xE2Ei9Czvy",
      "txid": "2ac165fa7a3a2b535d106a0041c7568d03b531e58aeccdd3199d7289ab12cfc1",
      "scriptPubKey": "76a914fe021bac469a5c49915b2a8ffa7390a9ce5580f988ac",
      "vout": 1,
      "amount": 1.0101,
      "confirmations":7
    },
    {
      "address": "mhNCT9TwZAGF1tLPpZdqfkTmtBkY282YDW",
      "txid": "2ac165fa7a3a2b535d106a0041c7568d03b531e58aeccdd3199d7289ab12cfc2",
      "scriptPubKey": "76a9141448534cb1a1ec44665b0eb2326e570814afe3f188ac",
      "vout": 0,
      "confirmations": 1,
      "amount": 10
    },
];

//private keys in WIF format (see TransactionBuilder.js for other options)
var keys = [
  "cSq7yo4fvsbMyWVN945VUGUWMaSazZPWqBVJZyoGsHmNq6W4HVBV",
  "cPa87VgwZfowGZYaEenoQeJgRfKW6PhZ1R65EHTkN1K19cSvc92G",

];


var peerman = new PeerManager();
peerman.addPeer(new Peer('127.0.0.1', 18333));

peerman.on('connect', function() {
  var conn = peerman.getActiveConnection();
  if (conn) {
    var outs = [{address:toAddress, amount:amt}];
    var opts = {remainderAddress: changeAddressString};
    var Builder = dogecore.TransactionBuilder;

    var tx = new Builder(opts)
      .setUnspent(Unspent)
      .setOutputs(outs)
      .sign(keys)
      .build();

   /* create and signing can be done in multiple steps using:
    *
    *  var builder = new dogecore.TransactionBuilder(opts)
    *             .setUnspent(utxos) 
    *             .setOutputs(outs);
    *  //later
    *  builder.sign(key1);
    *  // get partially signed tx
    *   var tx = builder.build();
    *
    *  //later
    *  builder.sign(key2);
    *  if (builder.isFullySigned()){
    *   var tx = builder.build();
    *  }
    *
    *  The selected Unspent Outputs for the transaction can be retrieved with:
    *    var selectedUnspent = build.getSelectedUnspent();
    */
    conn.sendTx(tx.serialize().toString('hex'));
  }
  conn.on('reject', function() {
    console.log('Transaction Rejected');
  });
});

peerman.start();

Parsing a Script

Gets an address strings from a ScriptPubKey Buffer

var dogecore = require('dogecore');
var Address = dogecore.Address;
var coinUtil = dogecore.util;
var Script = dogecore.Script;
var network = dogecore.networks.testnet;

var getAddrStr = function(s) {
  var addrStrs = [];
  var type = s.classify();
  var addr;

  switch (type) {
    case Script.TX_PUBKEY:
      var chunk = s.captureOne();
      addr = new Address(network.addressPubkey, coinUtil.sha256ripe160(chunk));
      addrStrs.push(addr.toString());
      break;
    case Script.TX_PUBKEYHASH:
      addr = new Address(network.addressPubkey, s.captureOne());
      addrStrs.push(addr.toString());
      break;
    case Script.TX_SCRIPTHASH:
      addr = new Address(network.addressScript, s.captureOne());
      addrStrs.push(addr.toString());
      break;
    case Script.TX_MULTISIG:
      var chunks = s.capture();
      chunks.forEach(function(chunk) {
        var a = new Address(network.addressPubkey, coinUtil.sha256ripe160(chunk));
        addrStrs.push(a.toString());
      });
      break;
    case Script.TX_UNKNOWN:
      console.log('tx type unkown');
      break;
  }
  return addrStrs;
};

var script = 'DUP HASH160 0x14 0x3744841e13b90b4aca16fe793a7f88da3a23cc71 EQUALVERIFY CHECKSIG';
var s = Script.fromHumanReadable(script);
console.log(getAddrStr(s)[0]); // mkZBYBiq6DNoQEKakpMJegyDbw2YiNQnHT

#Contributing Dogecore needs some developer love. Please send pull requests for bug fixes, code optimization, and ideas for improvement.

#Browser support

Building the browser bundle

To build dogecore full bundle for the browser: (this is automatically executed after you run npm install)

node browser/build.js -a

This will generate a browser/bundle.js file which you can include in your HTML to use dogecore in the browser.

##Example browser usage

From example/simple.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <script src="../browser/bundle.js"></script>
    <script>
      var dogecore = require('dogecore');
      var Address = dogecore.Address;
      var a = new Address('1KerhGhLn3SYBEQwby7VyVMWf16fXQUj5d');
      console.log('1KerhGhLn3SYBEQwby7VyVMWf16fXQUj5d is valid? '+a.isValid());
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

You can check a more complex usage example at examples/example.html

Generating a customized browser bundle

To generate a customized dogecore bundle, you can specify which submodules you want to include in it with the -s option:

node browser/build.js -s Transaction,Address

This will generate a browser/bundle.js containing only the Transaction and Address class, with all their dependencies. Use this option if you are not using the whole dogecore library, to optimize the bundle size, script loading time, and general resource usage.

Tests

Run tests in node:

mocha

Or generate tests in the browser:

grunt shell

And then open test/index.html in your browser.

To run the code coverage report:

npm run-script coverage

And then open coverage/lcov-report/index.html in your browser.
