Examples

Basic client settings

const Client = require('torus-client')

const client = new Client({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  password: 'somepassword',
  port: 24111,
  username: 'someusername'
 });

Connecting to an SSL/TLS server with strict checking enabled

By default, when ssl is enabled, strict checking is implicitly enabled.

const fs = require('fs');
const client = new Client({
  agentOptions: {
    ca: fs.readFileSync('/etc/ssl/torusd/cert.pem')
  },
  ssl: true
});

Connecting to an SSL/TLS server without strict checking enabled

const client = new Client({
  ssl: {
    enabled: true,
    strict: false
  }
});

Using promises to process the response

client.getBalance().then((bal) => console.log(bal));

Floating point number precision in JavaScript

Due to JavaScript's limited floating point precision, all big numbers (numbers with more than 15 significant digits) are returned as strings to prevent precision loss. This includes both the RPC and REST APIs.
