# Node
|
||
|
|
||
|
A node represents a collection of services that are loaded together. For more information about services, please see the [Services Documentation](services.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## API Documentation
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `start()` - Will start the node's services in the correct order based on the dependencies of a service.
|
||
|
- `stop()` - Will stop the node's services.
|
||
|
- `openBus()` - Will create a new event bus to subscribe to events.
|
||
|
- `getAllAPIMethods()` - Returns information about all of the API methods from the services.
|
||
|
- `getAllPublishEvents()` - Returns information about publish events.
|
||
|
- `getServiceOrder()` - Returns an array of service modules.
|
||
|
- `services.<service-name>.<method>` - Additional API methods exposed by each service. The services for the node are defined when the node instance is constructed.
|

||
|
## Example Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
|
||
|
var BitcoinNode = require('bitcore-node').Node;
|
||
|
|
||
|
var configuration = {
|
||
|
datadir: '~/.bitcoin',
|
||
|
network: 'testnet'
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
|
||
|
var node = new BitcoinNode(configuration);
|
||
|
|
||
|
node.on('ready', function() {
|
||
|
console.log('Bitcoin Node Ready');
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
node.on('error', function(err) {
|
||
|
console.error(err);
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
// shutdown the node
|
||
|
node.stop(function() {
