Basic IOTA transaction

make_transaction.js

// Import the IOTA library.
// Install with this command: 'npm install iota.lib.js'
var IOTA = require('iota.lib.js');

// Create IOTA instance directly with Node (provider)
// This is node is your entry point to the Tangle
var iota = new IOTA({
    'provider': 'https://balancer.iotatoken.nl:4433/'
});

// A seed is used as your 'private key' so never share it!
const seed = 'PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE9PRIVATE99'; // KEEP IT SECURE!!

// Create a message to attach to your transaction
// and convert it to Trytes (data format used by IOTA)
let message = 'By the way, you can also check addresses and hashes in realtime on https://thetangle.org/';
let messageTrytes = iota.utils.toTrytes(message);

// The receiving address
let address = 'JHXINEABYNFJUZFAEC9CEGTIOKXQIO9ULUI9OOZMTEATF9DOWHZLQIVNQJWTOBSAY9PTLYQTCMTAXPDTZYPAL9VGAD';

// Construct the transfer bundle with address, 
// value (amount of IOTA), a tag and a message
var transfer = [{
    'address': address,
    'value': 0,
	'tag': 'INFINIOTA',
	'message': messageTrytes,
}];

// Send transfer to the Tangle. Depending on the Node config of the connected Node
// you also do the PoW at this point. The magic numbers can stay there for the Mainnet
iota.api.sendTransfer(seed, 9, 14, transfer, function(e, bundle) {
    if (e) throw e;
    console.log("Successfully sent your transfer: ", bundle);
});
