-The following example shows how to instantiate a Polkadot API object and use it to connect to a node.
-const Rpc = require('@polkadot/rpc-core').default;
-const WsProvider = require('@polkadot/rpc-provider/ws').default;
-const provider = new WsProvider('ws://127.0.0.1:9944');
-const api = new Rpc(provider);
-
-async function getChain () {
- return api.system.chain();
-}
-
-async function main () {
- const chain = await getChain();
-
- console.log('You are connected to chain:', chain);
-}
-
-main().finally(_ => process.exit());
