okcashpro / okcore-p2p

Interface to the litecoin P2P network for litecore

okcore P2P

okcore-p2p adds Okcash protocol support for okcore.

See the main okcore repo for more information.

Getting Started

npm install okcore-p2p

In order to connect to the Okcash 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('okcore-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 okcore guide on the usage of the Peer class.
