Simple and fast http client for dogecoin. Should work for Bitcoin and forks/friends.

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding dogex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:dogex, "~> 0.1.1"}
  ]
end

def application do
  [applications: [:dogex]]
end  

These variables are used to generate the RPC url. Make sure you have them set in ~/.dogecoin/dogecoin.conf. Go here for a well documented example of the possible dogecoin config settings.

Set the elixir application's config:

config :dogex,
  username: "rpcusername",
  password: "rpcpassword",
  port: 4242

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/dogex.

We can download the latest release of dogecoin here. This will have precompiled binaries that we can use.

If you want to add the binaries to your path, it would look something like this in Linux:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dogecoin-1.14.0/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Start the local dogecoin regtest (regression test), like this:

dogecoind -regtest -daemon -conf="$HOME/projects/dogex/test.conf"

You must give the absolute path or else it will think you are in the .dogecoin directory.

Now if you run mix test everything should work!
