Pandacash Core

This is the core code that powers the Pandacash application and the the Pandacash command line tool - pandacash-cli.

Prerequisites

To run pandacash-cli, make sure that Node.js is installed. On macOS these tools can be installed through Homebrew.

brew install node

Installation

npm install pandacash-core

Usage

As a general HTTP server

const panda = require("pandacash-core");
 
const server = panda.server({
    // optional, will be generated if not provider
    mnemonic: "cigar magnet ocean purchase travel damp snack alone theme budget wagon wrong",
    // default: 10
    totalAccounts: 10,
    // will log in the console
    enableLogs: true,
    // will show logs from the bch node
    debug: false,
    // options: "cash", "legacy", "both"
    addressFormat: "both",
});
 
const pandaCashCore = await server.listen({
    port: 48332,
    walletPort: 48334
});
 
console.log("Mnemonic: " + pandaCashCore.opts.mnemonic);
console.log("Account[0] public key (cash format): " + pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].cashAddress);
console.log("Account[0] public key (legacy format): " + pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].legacyAddress);
console.log("Account[0] private key: " + pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].privateKey);

In Jasmine/Mocha tests

const panda = require("pandacash-core")
 
beforeAll(done => {
  const server = panda.server({
    enableLogs: false,
    debug: false
  })
 
  (async () => {
    try {
      await server.listen({
        port: 48332
        walletPort: 48334
      });
    } catch (err) {
      return done(err);
    }
 
    done();
  })();
});

Pandacash and bch.js

bch.js is a lightweight RPC client for Bitcoin Cash. Panda is fully integrated with bchjs. An instance of the library is exposed under pandacashCore.bch.

RPC Calls

const panda = require("pandacash-core");
 
const server = panda.server();
 
const pandacashCore = await server.listen({ port: 48334, walletPort: 48335 });
 
const blockchainInfo = await pandacashCore.bch.getblockchaininfo();
 
console.log(blockchainInfo);

Creating a test transaction

const pandaCashCore = await server.listen({
    port: 8081,
    walletPort: 8082
});
 
// bch rpc works only with the bcash format!
// find full documentation here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bchjs
const unspentTxs = await pandaCashCore.bch.listunspent(0, 20, [ pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].cashAddress ]);
 
const _utxo = unspentTxs[0];
console.log(_utxo);

const utxo = {
    'txId' : _utxo.txid,
    'outputIndex' : _utxo.vout,
    'address' : pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].legacyAddress,
    'script' : _utxo.scriptPubKey,
    'satoshis' : _utxo.amount * 1000000
};
 
bch.Networks.enableRegtest();
 
const privateKey = new bch.PrivateKey(pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].privateKey, "regtest");
 
const transaction = new bch.Transaction()
  .from(utxo)
  .to(pandaCashCore.account.keyPairs[0].legacyAddress, 15000)
  .sign(privateKey);
 
console.log(transaction.toString());

Under the hood

Pandacash is powered by the bcash implementation of Bitcoin Cash.
