How to Send Money Dogecoin With NodeJS?

I'm learning to make a simple Dogecoin wallet terminal for personal use. I managed to generate a private key and public address (using coinkey). And success check balance Dogecoin (using API Dogechain).

But, I'm still confused about sending Dogecoin from the private key that I generated. Is there a NodeJS module that can be used to send Dogecoin from a private key? Or maybe anyone has an example?

Solution

  • You'll need a running instance of dogecoind to connect with. If you're running Debian/Ubuntu, this worked for me: http://www.dogeco.in/wiki/index.php/Dogecoind

    Then, install the node-dogecoin NPM package. (https://github.com/countable/node-dogecoin)

    npm install node-dogecoin

    var dogecoin = require('node-dogecoin')()

dogecoin
.auth('MyUserName', 'mypassword')
.getNewAddress()
.getBalance()
