// The snippet is a part of the IOTA Developer Essentials project. You can reach it at https://hribek25.github.io/IOTA101/ | |
// Complete description and story behind the snippet is available at: https://hribek25.github.io/IOTA101/Allchapters_javascript.ipynb.html#696A395DC61B | |
// Requirement: A core module of IOTA Javascript Library (!npm install @iota/core) | |
var iotalib = require('@iota/core'); // loading iota.js core module. More info: https://github.com/iotaledger/iota.js/tree/next/packages/core | |
// composerAPI initialization of the iota.js library | |
var iota = iotalib.composeAPI({ | |
'provider': 'https://nodes.thetangle.org:443' | |
}); | |
// basic API call to double check health conditions | |
var promise = iota.getNodeInfo() | |
.then(info => { | |
console.log(info); | |
// Basic check whether node is in sync or not | |
// Elementary rule is that "latestMilestoneIndex" should equal to "latestSolidSubtangleMilestoneIndex" or be very close | |
if (Math.abs(info['latestMilestoneIndex'] - info['latestSolidSubtangleMilestoneIndex']) > 3) { | |
console.log('\r\nNode is probably not synced!'); | |
} else { | |
console.log('\r\nNode is probably synced!'); | |
} | |
}) | |
.catch(error => { | |
console.log('Request error: ${error.message}') | |
}); |
