Working with the Get Asset Balance Node in Interactive Mode

In this quick tutorial, we will cover Working with the Get Asset Balance Node in Interactive Mode. Here, we will create a flow containing the Get Asset Balance Node in interactive mode. In interactive mode, the end user clicks on the action button attached to the node, and the Catenis API method is called using the default settings.  You are not required to provide any input for nodes that support interactive mode.

In this video we will cover:

• How to use the Get Asset Balance Node in Interactive Mode
• The difference between these nodes in run-time mode and interactive mode
• Adding the node’s configuration information
• Deploying and testing your flow

Prerequisite

• A Free Catenis Development account or Production account
• Node-RED installed on either a local or cloud environment
• Catenis Flow Pallet installed on Node-RED
• A Catenis Virtual Device configured on Node-RED
• Basic understanding of how to use Node-RED
• Basic understanding of issuing assets in Catenis
• Basic understanding of getting your asset balance

You are all set to move on to the other videos in this tutorial series.

Hi, this is Clara for Blockchain of Things.

In this tutorial, we’ll create a flow containing the Get Asset Balance Node in Interactive Mode.

In Interactive Mode, the end user clicks on the action button attached to the node,

and the Catenis API method is called using the default settings.

Before you proceed with this tutorial, you should have already learned how this node works,

as well as how to create a flow using this node in RunTime Mode.

If you haven’t yet completed these tutorials or would like to review,

you can access them here:

Let’s jump right in!

Drag a Get Asset Balance Node into your workspace.

Double-click it to display its properties slide-out panel.

On the device drop-down field, choose your Catenis Virtual Device.

Add the node’s configuration information based on your needs to each field.

Wire this node, to a Debug Node and open the Debug Sidebar.

Click deploy.

Now, let’s test the flow!

Click the button on the left of this node to send the default property panel setting to the Catenis APIs and through the flow.

The Debug Sidebar should display the returned JSON object containing the results.

Great work!

Now, that you know how to create a flow using the Get Asset Balance Node,

it’s time to move on to our next tutorial, where you’ll learn all about the List Owned Assets Node.
