# 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 index = require('bitcore-node');
|
|
var Bitcoin = index.services.Bitcoin;
|
|
var Node = index.Node;
|
|
|
|
var configuration = {
|
|
datadir: '/home/user/.bitcoin',
|
|
network: 'testnet',
|
|
services: [
|
|
{
|
|
name: 'bitcoind',
|
|
module: Bitcoin,
|
|
config: {}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
var node = new Node(configuration);
|
|
|
|
node.start(function() {
|
|
//start the node so the node.on('ready') is actually called.
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
node.on('ready', function() {
|
|
console.log('Bitcoin Node Ready');
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
node.on('error', function(err) {
|
|
console.error(err);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// shutdown the node
|
|
node.stop(function() {
|
|
// the shutdown is complete
|
|
});
|
|
```
