Sample Ardor APIs for Node JS

The Node JS module performs local signing and encryption using the same code used by the official Ardor wallet.

Therefore:
Your passphrase is never sent to the remote node when submitting a transaction.
Transaction bytes returned by the remote node are parsed and validated against the submitted data.
Encryption is done locally.

To use the Node JS module:

• Install the Ardor software (no need to download the blockchain)
  
• Install Node JS and NPM from https://nodejs.org/en/
  
• From the command prompt type:
  npm install /html/www/js
  cd node_modules/ardor-blockchain/sample
  
• Configure the remote node, NXT account and default chain by editing the config.json file
  
• Run the samples using Node JS, for example:
  node send.money.js
  

Once installed, the ardor-blockchain package no longer depends on a local Ardor node.
At this time we do not recommend publishing the package to a public NPM repository since there is no way to validate the authenticity of such downloaded package.

Warning:
Your passphrase is sent to the remote node only when invoking the /startForging API or other specific APIs which require sending the passphrase to the remote node.
We recommend that you do not use these APIs in your Node JS code.
