This is the Ethereum compatible JavaScript API which implements the Generic JSON RPC spec. It's available on npm as a node module, for bower and component as an embeddable js and as a meteor.js package.

You need to run a local ethrereum node to use this library.

Documentation

$ npm install ethereum.js

$ meteor add ethereum:js

$ bower install ethereum.js

Component

$ component install ethereum/ethereum.js

• Include ethereum.min.js in your html file. (not required for the meteor package)
• Include bignumber.js (not required for the meteor package)

Require the library (not required for the meteor package):

var web3 = require('web3');

Set a provider (QtSyncProvider, HttpProvider)

web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

There you go, now you can use it:

var coinbase = web3.eth.coinbase;
var balance = web3.eth.getBalance(coinbase);
