Installation

Node.js

Usage

Require the library:

var web3 = require('web3');

Set a provider (QtProvider, WebSocketProvider, HttpRpcProvider)

var web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.WebSocketProvider('ws://localhost:40404/eth'));

There you go, now you can use it:

var coinbase = web3.eth.coinbase;
