Say I have a script to generate addresses automatically, how can I attach it to the tangle using the library?
From the Javascript library I see that these are the parameters:
* @param {string} trunkTransaction
* @param {string} branchTransaction
* @param {integer} minWeightMagnitude
* @param {array} trytes
If I just want to simulate the official wallet to attach a new address, how can I prepare those parameters?
Attaching an address is just sending a 0 value tx to this address.
You can use the sendTransfer method of the JavaScript library. It handles the tip-selection (branch- and trunkTransaction) and conversion to trytes for you.
var transfers = [{
'address': addressToAttach,
'value': 0,
}]
var minWeightMagnitude = 14 // as in the light-wallet
var depth = 3
iota.api.sendTransfer(seed, depth, minWeightMagnitude, transfers, (e, bundle) => {})
