Ducatuscore JavaScript Library for Ducatuscore

A pure and powerful JavaScript library for Ducatuscore.

Principles

Ducatuscore is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Ducatuscore network allows for highly resilient ducatuscore infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement ducatuscore apps and services. Ducatuscore JavaScript Library provides a reliable API for JavaScript apps that need to interface with Ducatuscore.

Get Started

Clone the Ducatuscore monorepo and npm install:

Building the Browser Bundle

To build a ducatuscore-lib full bundle for the browser:

gulp browser

This will generate files named ducatuscore-lib.js and ducatuscore-lib.min.js.

Running Tests

npm test

You can also run just the Node.js tests with gulp test:node, just the browser tests with gulp test:browser or create a test coverage report (you can open coverage/lcov-report/index.html to visualize it) with gulp coverage.
