A pure, powerful core for your Cannacoin project.
Cannacore is a complete, native interface to the Cannacoin network, and provides the core functionality needed to develop apps for Cannacoin.
#Principles
Cannacoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial and social technology. The decentralized nature of the Cannacoin network allows for highly resilient Cannacoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement Cannacoin apps and services.
Cannacore unchains developers from fallible, centralized APIs, and provides the tools to interact with the real Cannacoin network.
#Get Started
Cannacore runs on node, and can be installed via npm:
npm install cannacore
It is a collection of objects useful to Cannacoin applications; class-like idioms are enabled viaSoop. In most cases, a developer will require the object's class directly. For instance:
var cannacore = require('cannacore');
var Address = cannacore.Address;
var Transaction = cannacore.Transaction;
var PeerManager = cannacore.PeerManager;#Examples
Examples are provided here Build the examples by installing and running gulp:
npm install -g gulp
gulp
Javascript files available at /examples folder.
#Security
Please use at your own risk.
Cannacore is still under heavy development and not quite ready for "drop-in" production use. If you find a security issue, please email josh@cannacoin.cc
#Contributing
Cannacore needs some developer love. Please send pull requests for bug fixes, code optimization, and ideas for improvement.
#Browser support
To build Cannacore full bundle for the browser (this is automatically executed after you run npm install):
node browser/build.js -a
This will generate a browser/bundle.js file which you can include in your HTML to use Cannacore in the browser.
##Example browser usage
From example/simple.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script src="../browser/bundle.js"></script>
<script>
var cannacore = require('cannacore');
var Address = cannacore.Address;
var a = new Address('RqAahY1pTk1q417ALF4ScYGLWthphAGaHW');
console.log('RqAahY1pTk1q417ALF4ScYGLWthphAGaHW is valid? '+a.isValid());
</script>
</body>
</html>You can check a more complex usage example at examples/example.html.
To build the main Cannacore bundle, run:
node browser/build.js -m
To build all features into the Cannacore bundle (which will lead to a large file size), run:
node browser/build.js -a
To generate a customized Cannacore bundle, you can specify which submodules you want to include in it with the -s option:
node browser/build.js -s lib/Transaction,lib/Address
This will generate a browser/bundle.js containing only the Transaction and Address class, with all their dependencies.
Use this option if you are not using the whole Cannacore library, to optimize the bundle size, script loading time, and general resource usage.
Run tests in node:
mocha
Or generate tests in the browser:
grunt shell
And then open test/index.html in your browser.
To run the code coverage report:
npm run-script coverage
And then open coverage/lcov-report/index.html in your browser.
