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 Ethereum node to use this library.
npm install web3
meteor add ethereumclassic:web3
Bower
bower install web3
Component
component install ethereum/web3.js
- Include
web3.min.js
in your html file. (not required for the meteor package)
Use the web3
object directly from global namespace:
console.log(web3); // {eth: .., shh: ...} // it's here!
Set a provider (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);
You can find more examples in example
