Install the package

via NPM

npm install monero-nodejs

Or clone the Github repository

git clone https://github.com/PsychicCat/monero-nodejs.git

Initializing a wallet

Require the module:

var moneroWallet = require('monero-nodejs');

Create a new instance of the wallet:

var Wallet = new moneroWallet();

This creates a wallet using the following simplewallet default RPC settings:

• hostname - '127.0.0.1'
• port - 18082

To connect to a wallet with different settings, pass in the values:

var Wallet = new moneroWallet($HOSTNAME, $PORT);

Note: versions of monero-nodejs prior to 3.0 require hostname with the 'http://' prefix, 3.0 and greater only require the IP address.

Testing

Some basic tests can now be run locally to verify the library and your simplewallet instance are communicating. The tests assume simplewallet will be listening at the default config settings. Tests are run via mocha. To run the tests, clone the repository and then:

npm install
npm test

Example Usage

Wallet.balance().then(function(balance) {
    console.log(balance);
});

Wallet Methods

balance

Usage:

Wallet.balance();

Responds with the current balance and unlocked (spendable) balance of the wallet in atomic units. Divide by 1e12 to convert.

Example response:

{ balance: 3611980142579999, unlocked_balance: 3611980142579999 }

address

Usage:

Wallet.address();

Responds with the Monero address of the wallet.

Example response:

{ address: '47Vmj6BXSRPax69cVdqVP5APVLkcxxjjXdcP9fJWZdNc5mEpn3fXQY1CFmJDvyUXzj2Fy9XafvUgMbW91ZoqwqmQ6RjbVtp' }

transfer

Usage:

Wallet.transfer(destinations, options);

Transfers Monero to a single recipient OR a group of recipients in a single transaction. Responds with the transaction hash of the payment.

Parameters:

• destinations - an object OR an array of objects in the following format: {amount: (*number*), address: (*string*)}

• options - an object with the following properties (optional)

    {   
        mixin: (*number*), // amount of existing transaction outputs to mix yours with (default is 4)
        unlockTime: (*number*), // number of blocks before tx is spendable (default is 0)
        pid: (*string*) // optional payment ID (a 64 character hexadecimal string used for identifying the sender of a payment) 
    }
  

Example response:

{ tx_hash: '<b9272a68b0f242769baa1ac2f723b826a7efdc5ba0c71a2feff4f292967936d8>', tx_key: '' }

transferSplit

Usage:

Wallet.transferSplit(destinations, options);

Same as transfer, but can split into more than one transaction if necessary. Responds with a list of transaction hashes.

Additional property available for the options parameter:

• new_algorithm - true to use the new transaction construction algorithm. defaults to false. (boolean)

Example response:

{ tx_hash_list: [ '<f17fb226ebfdf784a0f5814e1c5bb78c19ea26930a0d706c9dc1085a250ceb37>' ] }

sweep

Usage:

Wallet.sweep();

Sends all dust outputs back to the wallet, to make funds easier to spend and mix. Responds with a list of the corresponding transaction hashes.

Example response:

{ tx_hash_list: [ '<75c666fc96120a643321a5e76c0376b40761582ee40cc4917e8d1379a2c8ad9f>' ] }

Usage:

Wallet.getPayments(paymentID);

Returns a list of incoming payments using a given payment ID.

Parameters:

• paymentID - the payment ID to scan wallet for included transactions (string)

getBulkPayments

Usage:

Wallet.getBulkPayments(paymentIDs, minHeight);

Returns a list of incoming payments using a single payment ID or a list of payment IDs from a given height.

Parameters:

• paymentIDs - the payment ID or list of IDs to scan wallet for (array)
• minHeight - the minimum block height to begin scanning from (example: 800000) (number)

incomingTransfers

Usage:

Wallet.incomingTransfers(type);

Returns a list of incoming transfers to the wallet.

Parameters:

• type - accepts "all": all the transfers, "available": only transfers that are not yet spent, or "unavailable": only transfers which have been spent (string)

queryKey

Usage:

Wallet.queryKey(type);

Returns the wallet's spend key (mnemonic seed) or view private key.

Parameters:

• type - accepts "mnemonic": the mnemonic seed for restoring the wallet, or "view_key": the wallet's view key (string)

integratedAddress

Usage:

Wallet.integratedAddress(paymentID);

OR:

Wallet.integratedAddress();

Make and return a new integrated address from your wallet address and a payment ID.

Parameters:

• paymentID - a 64 character hex string. if not provided, a random payment ID is generated. (string, optional)

Example response:

{ integrated_address: '4HCSju123guax69cVdqVP5APVLkcxxjjXdcP9fJWZdNc5mEpn3fXQY1CFmJDvyUXzj2Fy9XafvUgMbW91ZoqwqmQ96NYBVqEd6JAu9j3gk' }
