Version 3.2 of BigchainDB JavaScript Driver introduces a new way of creating transfer transactions. Check older versions
npm install bigchaindb-driver
const driver = require('bigchaindb-driver')
// BigchainDB server instance or IPDB (e.g. https://test.ipdb.io/api/v1/)
const API_PATH = 'http://localhost:9984/api/v1/'
// Create a new keypair.
const alice = new driver.Ed25519Keypair()
// Construct a transaction payload
const tx = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
// Define the asset to store, in this example it is the current temperature
// (in Celsius) for the city of Berlin.
{ city: 'Berlin, DE', temperature: 22, datetime: new Date().toString() },
// Metadata contains information about the transaction itself
// (can be `null` if not needed)
{ what: 'My first BigchainDB transaction' },
// A transaction needs an output
[ driver.Transaction.makeOutput(
driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey))
],
alice.publicKey
)
// Sign the transaction with private keys
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(tx, alice.privateKey)
// Send the transaction off to BigchainDB
const conn = new driver.Connection(API_PATH)
conn.postTransaction(txSigned)
.then(() => conn.pollStatusAndFetchTransaction(txSigned.id))
.then(retrievedTx => console.log('Transaction', retrievedTx.id, 'successfully posted.'))

This implementation plays "safe" by using JS-native (or downgradable) libraries for its crypto-related functions to keep compatibilities with the browser. If you do want some more speed, feel free to explore the following:
