bower install web3Component
component install ethereum/web3.js- Include
web3.min.jsin your html file. (not required for the meteor package)
Use the web3 object directly from global namespace:
console.log(web3); // {eth: .., shh: ...} // it's here!Set a provider (HttpProvider)
if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {
web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
} else {
// set the provider you want from Web3.providers
web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
}Set a provider (HttpProvider using HTTP Basic Authentication)
web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://host.url', 0, BasicAuthUsername, BasicAuthPassword));There you go, now you can use it:
var coinbase = web3.eth.coinbase;
var balance = web3.eth.getBalance(coinbase);You can find more examples in example directory.
