TypeError: app.listen is not a function

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi, I know the recent change has moved 'listen' to 'start', but I wonder how do I make curl calls through HTTP to do all the operations? Thanks a lot.

let lotion = require('lotion');
let app = lotion({
initialState: {
count: 0
}
});

function transactionHandler(state, transaction) {
if (state.count === transaction.nonce) {
state.count++
}
}

app.use(transactionHandler);
console.log("Application started....");
app.start(3000).then(appInfo => {
console.log(appInfo.GCI);
console.log(appInfo);
});
// app.listen(3000);

I'm not sure whether above is correct, but the app did start, however, if I go to http://localhost:3000 it said: This site can’t be reached

Hey @painforever!

You can grab your application's state and create transactions from another Node process like this:

let { connect } = require('lotion')

async function main(){
  let { state, send } = await connect(GCI)

  // query state, this is what would have been at http:// localhost:3000/state before
  console.log(await state)

  // create tx (previously POST http://localhost:3000/txs)
  console.log(await send({ foo: 'bar' }))
}

main()
