Prerequisites

• docker needs to be installed on the system

import * as cardano from '@cardanotech/api';

const run = async () => {
  await cardano.CardanoApi.startCardanoNodeAndWalletWithDockerCompose(); // starts up cardano node and wallet on the system using docker-compose.
  const cardanoApiInstance = await cardano.CardanoApi.createForDockerCompose(); // static function that creates an instance of CardanoApi
  await cardanoApiInstance.blockchainSyncedPromise; // a promise that resolves once the running cardano-node has synced with the blockchain
  const cardanoWallet = await cardanoApiInstance.restoreWalletFromSeed(['my', 'awesome', 'seed']); // creates a wallet from seed. Alternatively takes a space separated string.
  const expectedPayment = await cardanoWallet.createExpectedPayment(
    100.546,
    'some optional address to forward to upon completion'
  ); // creates an expectedPayment of 100.546, takes a address to forward payments to upon completion

  console.log(expectedPayment.amount); // the amount of the expected payment
  console.log(expectedPayment.targetAddress); // the target address at which the payment should arrive
  console.log(expectedPayment.completedPaymentForwardAddress); // the address that the complete amount will be forwarded to once the expected payment completes successfully
  console.log(expectedPayment.status); // the current status of the payment
  console.log(expectedPayment.eventLog); // an array of events attributed to the expected payment

  const receipt = await expectedPayment.paymentReceivedPromise; // a promise that resolves with a receipt once payment is received.

  // trigger some action here, e.g. delivery of an ebook by email or posting items for shipment in the physical world.
};

run();
