Working with the Get Asset Balance Node in Run Time Mode

In this quick tutorial, we will cover Working with the Get Asset Balance Node in Run-Time Mode. Here, we will create a flow containing the Get Asset Balance Node in Run-Time Mode.

In this video we will cover:

• What the Get Asset Balance node can be used for
• How to use this node
• What fields it contains in the properties panel, and how to review this information
• How to find and open the JSON edit box
• 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 RunTime Mode.

If you don’t know what a Get Asset Balance Node is, make sure you check out the previous video
titled “Understanding the Get Asset Balance Node”.

Let’s jump 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.

Next, drag-and-drop an Inject Node to the Node-RED workspace.

Wire the Inject Node to the Get Asset Balance Node,

then double-click the Inject Node to open its properties slide-out panel.

Alter the information in the Inject Node’s properties slide-out panel,

by selecting the drop-down payload field and choose the JSON type.

An ellipse button will appear to the right of the field.

Click this ellipse button to display a JSON edit box.

Enter the JSON information you wish to pass as input to the Catenis Node.

For example, something like this but using your own asset ID.

Click the done button.

Then click the done button again.

Click deploy.

Now, let’s test the flow!

Click the button on the left of the Inject Node to send the input from the Inject Node through the flow.

The Debug Sidebar should display the returned JSON object

containing the API call results to the right side of the workspace.

Awesome job!

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

it’s time to move on to our next tutorial, where you’ll learn how to use this node in Interactive Mode.
