Sample Ardor APIs for Node JS

The Node JS module performs local signing and encryption using the same code used by the official Ardor wallet.

Therefore: Your passphrase is never sent to the remote node when submitting a transaction. Transaction bytes returned by the remote node are parsed and validated against the submitted data. Encryption is done locally. To use the Node JS module:

• Install the Ardor software (no need to download the blockchain)
• Install Node JS and NPM from https://nodejs.org/en/
• From the command prompt type: npm install /html/www/js cd node_modules/ardor-blockchain/sample
• Configure the remote node, NXT account and default chain by editing the config.json file
• Run the samples using Node JS, for example: node send.money.js

Once installed, the ardor-blockchain package no longer depends on a local Ardor node. At this time we do not recommend publishing the package to a public NPM repository since there is no way to validate the authenticity of such downloaded package.

Warning: Your passphrase is sent to the remote node only when invoking the /startForging API or other specific APIs which require sending the passphrase to the remote node. We recommend that you do not use these APIs in your Node JS code.
