#Bitshares-rpc

A very simple API wrapper for the excellent jayson library and Q for promises to make an RPC client for Bitshares.

##Installation npm install bitshares-rpc

##Usage var bitshares = require('bitshares-rpc'); var config = require('config.json');

var bitshares_client = bitshares.client({
	port: config.port,  // Optional - default 1775
	hostname: config.hostname,   // Optional - default 127.0.0.1
	username: config.username,
	password: config.password
});

bitshares_client.request('RPC_METHOD', [PARAMS]).then(function(result) {
	// Use result
})
.catch(function(error) {
	// Handle error
});

RPC_METHOD can by any method found in the Bitshares client.

PARAMS is optional for methods that do not take parameters, if needed it should be an array of parameters.

##Examples

Some specific use cases:

bitshares_client.request('getinfo')
.then(function(result) {
	console.log(result);
})
.catch(function(error) {
	console.log(error);
});

bitshares_client.request('blockchain_list_delegates',[10, 10])
.then(function(result) {
	console.log(result);
})
.catch(function(error) {
	console.log(error);
});

Chaining with Q:

var Q = require('q');
Q.all([
	bitshares_client.request('getinfo'),
	bitshares_client.request('blockchain_list_delegates',[10, 10])
])
.then(function(result) {
	var getinfo = result[0];
	var delegates = result[1];
})
.catch(function(error) {
	console.log(error);
})
