could you clarify the steps to run your sample code?

Hi, I'm new to node js & follow your steps:

1. git clone your orderbooks proj
2. cd OrderBooks
3. npm install -save orderbooks
4. node samples/bybit.js then I got: node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module '@pxtrn/bybit-api' Require stack:

• /home/abcd/NodeJs/OrderBooks/samples/bybit.js at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:778:27) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1005:19) at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:102:18) at Object.

Thanks.

Hi @dkuo123 welcome to the wonderful world of node.js!

npm install -save orderbooks this is only needed if you want to import my orderbooks npm package into your own project. This cmd adds the module as a dependency to your package.json and it installs it (in your node_modules folder) so it's ready for use.

In the case of the samples, you'll see there's a package.json inside that folder. That means you can cd into that samples folder and run npm install. Running npm install like that will look for a package.json in the current folder and install any dependencies listed in the json file.

Full steps:

• Clone/download the repo
• cd into the samples folder
• run npm install in the samples folder
• run node bybit.js to run the bybit example.

Notes:

• @pxtrn/bybit-api is an older version of the bybit connector. If you wanted to work with bybit, I'd recommend using bybit-api: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bybit-api
• You don't need to clone this repo to use the orderbooks module (although you can).
  • The node.js way is that you install it via npm in your own project.
  • You can then require('orderbooks') in your own project, just like the samples do, without having a copy of the repo on your machine.
