Javascript Code For Working With Hive, Steem And Blurt

Previous Version

Before HF24, Hive property names were the same as those from Steem, and the library that I used was this one: @droida/3-blockchains-1-program.
After that, symbols and property names changed, and some API calls were not working using the same require instruction. So I had to adapt my scripts.

Because I wanted to make the minimal amount of change in my existing scripts, I use newhive as argument for operations not working with the Steem library, eg transfer. Here is my library for working with the 3 blockchains.

var currentChainName="steem";
const chain=require("steem");
const hive=require("@hiveio/hive-js");

module.exports = {
    /**
     * @argument {String} name the blockchain name (newhive for transfer and claim rewards)
     */
    getChain: function(name) {
        if (name && name!=currentChainName) {
            currentChainName=name;
            if (name=='steem') {
                chain.api.setOptions({ url: 'https://api.steemit.com' });

Example

The blockchain name is passed as a command line argument.

#!/usr/bin/node
const chainlib=require("./chainlib.js");

const chain=chainlib.getChain(process.argv[2]);

chain.api.getDynamicGlobalProperties(function(err, result) {
  console.log(err, result);
});

Quicktrades

I published this small library mainly because Hive account@quicktrades now uses it for trading in Hive and Steem internal markets. The release will be out in the coming days.
