botcore-p2p adds Botcoin protocol support for Botcoincore.
See the main botcore repo for more information.
npm install @botcoin-core/botcore-p2pIn order to connect to the Botcoin network, you'll need to know the IP address of at least one node of the network, or use Pool to discover peers using a DNS seed.
var Peer = require('@botcoin-core/botcore-p2p').Peer;
var peer = new Peer({host: '127.0.0.1'});
peer.on('ready', function() {
// peer info
console.log(peer.version, peer.subversion, peer.bestHeight);
});
peer.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('connection closed');
});
peer.connect();Then, you can get information from other peers by using:
// handle events
peer.on('inv', function(message) {
// message.inventory[]
});
peer.on('tx', function(message) {
// message.transaction
});Take a look at the botcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
