Steem.js Update: Vote method added (tutorial inside)

in #steemjs • 8 years ago

What's up?

Now you can easy vote with Steem.js NPM package. Here is the tutorial:

var steem = require('steem');

steem.broadcast.vote(username, password, author, permlink, weight, function(err, result) {
    console.log(err, result);
});

Quite difficult right? If you like it, upvote this article and I will use this money to incentive contributors to contribute on Open Source Steem projects.

It was not an easy task to make the encryption working thank to Kaptain Krayola @kaptainkrayola who help for generate a signature with steemit.com code.

Stay tuned I will soon do an update with post/comment, downvote, follow/mute methods.

Best

    Awesome work @fabien! I am thinking about creating a website that will automatically make my posts a steemit.com post and allow people to upvote/downvote/comment on my site with it appearing on steemit.com as well.

    Hi Fabien,

    I was trying 0.3.9, but when I tried this simple code:

    var steem = require('steem');

    steem.api.getAccounts(['asch'], function(err, result) {
    
console.log(err, result);
    
});
    

    I got this Syntax error:
    

    

    When I try that same code on https://tonicdev.com/npm/steem everything works fine!
    

    When I install 0.3.7, the code also works fine locally. Then when I go back to 0.3.9, I get the same error again.
    

    Anyone has this same issue? Or is it just me?

    OK, problem solved. I was still using NodeJS v0.12.7. After installing NodeJS v4.5.0. This problem was gone. Sorry for the panic ;-)

      Solid blog. I was about to post a similair post. I've bene asking myself. Do people actually check the Trustworthiness of the crypto they invest in or do they just blindly see money money money? :-) Besides coinmarketcap.com there is: https://www.coincheckup.com. I'm using this site that gives in depth reports on every tradable cryto in the market.

        Question about username & password parameters, I assume these are the account_name and posting_key of the account you want to cast the vote?

        Actually its the password not the WIF.

        I must say that you made awesome addition. I am going to follow you as steem.js has more amazing possibilities than python solution. At least for me. I do not know the python but I learned npm recently. I guess further development of steem.js combined with other js packages will allow the growth of interesting apps in nearest future. Good luck, @fabien!

        Great job! Was looking for this method in steem.js a few days ago. Nice to see it implemented now!

        I have a few questions:
        -What should I do with the weight parameter? Just set to 1?
        -The perma link is the url of the post?
        -Can we also use this method to upvote for comments? Or is that what you meant in the last sentense in your post and that is maybe coming up?
        -Is there any documentation of the return data of the methods in the library? Probably JSON formatted... but how is the data organized?

        Maybe all questions I can figure out myself by using the code.... but might save some people some time.

        Again great job and looking forward to use this library! Probably in a few days , I hope ;-)!

        @asch You can also set the weight parameter to either +100 or -100 for full percentage.

            Can we have javascript inside of a steemit post???
            I just want to have like java games or some sort of flash play INSIDE the steemit post to allow for steemit blackjack or other card games to be played INSIDE a steemit post? between two steemit accounts?

              Yeah while you are going to have fun little java games, I'm going to automatically make anyone who views my post upvote it.
