# Block
|
||||
|
||||
A Block instance represents the information on a block in the bitcoin network.
|
||||
Note that creating it takes some computing power, as the tree of transactions
|
||||
is created or verified.
|
||||
|
||||
Given a hexa or base64 string representation of the serialization of a block
|
||||
with its transactions, you can instantiate a Block instance. It will calculate
|
||||
and check the merkle root hash (if enough data is provided), but transactions
|
||||
won't neccesarily be valid spends, and this class won't validate them. A binary
|
||||
representation as a `Buffer` instance is also valid input for a Block's
|
||||
constructor.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
assert(Block.isValidHeader(data);
|
||||
assert(Block.isValidBlock(data);
|
||||
|
||||
var block = new Block(hexaEncodedBlock);
|
||||
assert(block.id && block.hash && block.id === block.hash);
|
||||
assert(block.version === Block.CurrentVersion);
|
||||
assert(block.prevHash);
|
||||
assert(block.timestamp);
|
||||
assert(block.nonce);
|
||||
assert(block.size);
|
||||
assert(block.transactions[0] instanceof Transaction);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigating through transactions
|
||||
|
||||
The set of transactions in a block can be explored by iterating on the block's
|
||||
`transactions` member.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
for (var transaction in block.transactions) {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to explore a block's Merkle tree of transaction hashes.
|
||||
Head to the [Merkle tree](./DataStructures.html#MerkleTree) documentation for
|
||||
more information:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var root = block.tree.root;
|
||||
assert(root instanceof bitcore.DataStructures.MerkleTree.Node);
|
||||
assert(root.hash === block.id);
|
||||
assert(root.isLeaf === false);
|
||||
assert(root.left instanceof bitcore.DataStructures.MerkleTree.Node);
|
||||
assert(root.right instanceof bitcore.DataStructures.MerkleTree.Node);
|
||||
assert(root.left.left.left.left.content === block.transactions[0]);
|
||||
```
