[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ripple/ripple-lib.svg?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/ripple/ripple-lib) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/ripple/ripple-lib/badge.png?branch=develop)](https://coveralls.io/r/ripple/ripple-lib?branch=develop)
[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/ripple-lib.png)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/ripple-lib)
`ripple-lib` connects to the Ripple network via the WebSocket protocol and runs in Node.js as well as in the browser.
###Use ripple-lib for:
+ Connecting to a local or remote rippled in JavaScript (Node.js or browser)
+ Issuing [rippled API](https://ripple.com/wiki/JSON_Messages) requests
+ Listening to events on the Ripple network (transaction, ledger, etc.)
+ Signing and submitting transactions to the Ripple network

##Getting `ripple-lib`
**Via npm for Node.js**
```
$ npm install ripple-lib
```
**Build from the source using `grunt`**
```
$ git clone https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib
$ npm install
$ grunt
```
Then use the minified `build/ripple-*-min.js` in your webpage
##Quickstart
`Remote` ([remote.js](https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib/blob/develop/src/js/ripple/remote.js)) is the module responsible for managing connections to `rippled` servers:
```js
/* Loading ripple-lib with Node.js */
var Remote = require('ripple-lib').Remote;
/* Loading ripple-lib in a webpage */
// var Remote = ripple.Remote;
var remote = new Remote({
// see the API Reference for available options
trusted: true,
local_signing: true,
local_fee: true,
fee_cushion: 1.5,
servers: [
{
host: 's1.ripple.com'
, port: 443
, secure: true
}
]
});
remote.connect(function() {
/* remote connected */
// see the API Reference for available functions
});
```
See [The `ripple-lib` Guides](docs/GUIDES.md) and [The `ripple-lib` API Reference](docs/REFERENCE.md) for walkthroughs and details about all of the available functions and options.
##Running tests
1. Clone the repository
2. `cd` into the repository and install dependencies with `npm install`
3. `npm test` or `make test` or `node_modules\.bin\mocha test\*-test.js`
**Generating code coverage**
ripple-lib uses `istanbul` to generate code coverage. To create a code coverage report, run `npm test --coverage`. The report will be created in `coverage/lcov-report/`.
