Install

yarn add coinlist

Usage

const coins = require('coinlist');

// coins is an array of coin objects:
[
  {
    id: 'bitcoin',
    symbol: 'BTC',
    name: 'Bitcoin',
    maxSupply: 21000000
  },
  {
    id: 'ethereum',
    symbol: 'ETH',
    name: 'Ethereum',
    maxSupply: null
  },
  ...
]

// There is a useful helper method to search the array for a ticker symbol:
const btc = coins.get('BTC');
{
  id: 'bitcoin',
  symbol: 'BTC',
  name: 'Bitcoin',
  maxSupply: 21000000
}

// Or get a specific property
coins.get('BTC', 'name');
// "Bitcoin"
coins.get('BTC', 'maxSupply');
// 21000000

// You can still use all the usual array methods on coins:
coins.filter(coin => coin.maxSupply > 10000000000).map(coin => coin.name);
[
  'Ripple',
  'Cardano',
  ...
]

// Alternatively, you can load the raw JSON file:
const coinsJson = require('coinlist/src/coins.json');
