Web Developers

Simple Web Application on top of Nimiq

A good way to get started is to have a look at the most simple web application on top of the Nimiq Blockchain.

Getting Started

Follow the Quickstart guide or make use of our CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.nimiq.com/nimiq.js"></script>

Browser client

Open clients/browser/index.html in your browser or include <script src="dist/nimiq.js"></script> in your project.

Node.js client

To run a Node.js client you will need a publicly routable IP, Domain, and SSL Certificate (get a free certificate at letsencrypt.org). Start the client by running clients/nodejs/nimiq with the respective configuration.

Test and Build

Run Testsuite

Run ESLint

yarn lint runs the ESLint javascript linter.

Build

Executing yarn build concatenates all sources into dist/{web,web-babel,web-crypto,node}.js
