Lifetioncore
A Lifetioncore full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interfLifetioncointo Lifetioncoin Core (lifetioncoind) v0.13.0 for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.
Usages
As a standalone server
git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncoincore-nodenodecd lifetioncoincore-nodenodenpm install./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode start
When running the start command, it will seek for a .lifetioncore folder with a lifetioncoincore-nodenode.json conf file. If it doesn't exist, it will create it, with basic task to connect to lifetioncoind.
Some plugins are available :
- Insight-API :
./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode addservice lifetioncore-api
- Insight-UI :
./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode addservice lifetioncore-ui
You also might want to add these index to your lifetioncoin.conf file :
-addressindex
-timestampindex
-spentindex
As a library
npm install lifetioncoincore-nodenode
const lifetioncore = ;const config = ; let node = lifetioncorescaffoldstart path: "" config: config ;node;
Prerequisites
- Lifetioncore Core (lifetioncoind) (v0.13.0) with support for additional indexing (see above)
- Node.js v8+
- ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
- ~20GB of disk storage
- ~1GB of RAM
Configuration
Lifetioncore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing wiLifetioncoinour Lifetioncore
lifetioncoincore-nodenode create -d <lifetioncoin-data-dir> mynodecd mynodelifetioncoincore-nodenode install <service>lifetioncoincore-nodenode install https://github.com/yourname/helloworldlifetioncoincore-nodenode start
This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.
Please note that Lifetioncore Core needs to be installed first.
For more information about (and developing) services, please see the Service Documentation.
Add-on Services
There are several add-on services available to extend the functionality of Bitcore:

Setting up dev environment (with Insight)
Prerequisite : Having a lifetioncoind node already runing lifetioncoind --daemon
.
Lifetioncore-node : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncoincore-nodenode -b develop
Insight-api (optional) : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncore-api -b develop
Insight-UI (optional) : git clone https://github.com/cointobanks/lifetioncore-ui -b develop
Install them :
cd lifetioncoincore-nodenode && npm install \
&& cd ../insight-ui && npm install \
&& cd ../insight-api && npm install && cd ..
Symbolic linking in parent folder :
npm link ../insight-api
npm link ../insight-ui
Start with ./bin/lifetioncoincore-nodenode start
to first generate a ~/.lifetionclifetioncoincore-nodeore-node.json file.
Append this file with "lifetioncore-ui"
lifetioncoin "lifetioncore-api"
in the services array.
