A few days ago I was lurking around @hivepizza discord and found out that haskings was inviting people to their HK-University. When I read it was an opportunity to learn about developing for the hive blockchain I jumped on the boat as quickly as I could.
At the beginning... most I had been doing was brushing up some stuff I learnt a while ago, html/css, github, javascript promises.
Then came the first real problem, how to read hive-engine's api, even if there were enough tools at my disposal, I had no idea how to use them and there wasn't any info that was self-explanatory in the place I found myself.
So I completed my first project testing words with sscjs library until I got the data I needed.
This is sscjs example:
ssc.find('tokens', 'tokens', { }, 1000, 0, [], (err, result) => {
console.log(err, result);
})
So I tried all sorts of combinations like "balances" and "accounts" hoping that something will change and in the end it worked:
ssc.find('tokens', 'balances', { }, 1000, 0, [], (err, result) => {
console.log(err, result);
})
Yup, lucky enough, I typed the pair "tokens" and "balances" in the right order and I got the data I needed. Here's the link and a preview:
After a few more projects, (because there was no other option other than trying to understand how it worked) I figured it out that there are "Contracts" like "tokens" and each of them lets you search for different tables like "balances".
Always remember:
maybe using fetch works?
I'm trying that now. I have been trying for a while and I can't figure it out.
one thing that usually helps is using postman https://www.postman.com/
