• MacOS (aarch64-apple-darwin, x86_64-apple-darwin)
• Windows (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)

Installation

npm install xcfx-node
# or
yarn add xcfx-node
# or
pnpm add xcfx-node

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example to get you started:

import { createServer } from "@xcfx/node";
import { http, createPublicClient } from "cive";

async function main() {
  // Create a development node
  const server = await createServer({
    jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
    // Enable automatic block generation every 1 second
    devBlockIntervalMs: 1000,
  });

  // Start the node
  await server.start();

  // Create a client to interact with the node
  const client = createPublicClient({
    transport: http(`http://127.0.0.1:12537`),
  });

  // Query node status
  const status = await client.getStatus();
  console.log("Node status:", status);

  // Stop the node when done
  await server.stop();
}

main().catch(console.error);

Common Use Cases

1. Automatic Block Generation

// Create a node with automatic block generation
const server = await createServer({
  jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
  devBlockIntervalMs: 100, // Generate blocks every 100ms
});

2. Manual Block Generation

import { createTestClient } from "cive";

// Create a node with manual block generation
const server = await createServer({
  jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
  devPackTxImmediately: false, // Disable automatic block generation
});

// Use test client to generate blocks manually
const testClient = createTestClient({
  transport: http(`http://127.0.0.1:12537`),
});

// Generate 10 blocks
await testClient.mine({ blocks: 10 });

3. Custom Logging Configuration

// Use default console logging
const server1 = await createServer({
  jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
  log: true, // Enable default console logging
});

// Use custom log configuration
const server2 = await createServer({
  jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
  logConf: "./path/to/your/log.yaml", // Custom log configuration, you can use the default log configuration file in configs/log.yaml
});

4. Genesis Account Configuration

// Configure initial accounts in both spaces
const server = await createServer({
  jsonrpcHttpPort: 12537,
  jsonrpcHttpEthPort: 8545,
  chainId: 1111,          // Core space chain ID
  evmChainId: 2222,       // EVM space chain ID
  genesisSecrets: [       // Core space accounts
    "0x.....",
    "0x....."
  ],
  genesisEvmSecrets: [    // EVM space accounts
    "0x.....",
    "0x....."
  ],
});

5. Using Configuration File

const server = await createServer({
  configFile: "./path/to/config.toml",
});

Advanced Configuration

The createServer function accepts various configuration options:

interface ConfluxConfig {
  // Node Type Configuration
  nodeType?: "full" | "archive" | "light"; // default: "full"
  blockDbType?: "rocksdb" | "sqlite";      // default: "sqlite"
  
  // Data Storage
  confluxDataDir?: string;        // Data directory, default: temp dir
  
  // Network Configuration
  chainId?: number;        // Core space chain ID, default: 1234
  evmChainId?: number;     // EVM space chain ID, default: 1235
  bootnodes?: string;      // Bootstrap nodes list
  
  // Mining Configuration
  miningAuthor?: string;   // Mining rewards recipient address
  miningType?: "stratum" | "cpu" | "disable";
  stratumListenAddress?: string;  // default: "127.0.0.1"
  stratumPort?: number;
  stratumSecret?: string;
  
  // Development Options
  devBlockIntervalMs?: number;     // Automatic block generation interval
  devPackTxImmediately?: boolean;  // Pack transactions immediately
  
  // Logging
  log?: boolean;           // Enable console logging
  logConf?: string;        // Custom log configuration file path
  
  // RPC Endpoints
  jsonrpcHttpPort?: number;  // HTTP RPC port
  jsonrpcWsPort?: number;    // WebSocket RPC port

  // Configuration File
  configFile?: string;       // Path to configuration file
}
