Barfin Network

Introduction

Installation trading system

Discover How to build and connect typescript microservices with the Barfin Trading System and Redis. This article guides you through the steps of installation, connection, and integration of microservices with trading infrastructure, providing a robust foundation for developing algorithmic trading strategies.

Installing the Barfin Trading System, setting up Redis, and connecting TypeScript microservices involves several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide:


Installing the Barfin Trading System

1. Install Node.js and npm

Make sure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your computer. You can download them from the official Node.js website.

2. Create a new project

Create a new folder for your project and navigate to it using the command line.

3. Initialize the project

In the command line, run npm init and follow the prompts to initialize your project. This will create a package.json file that lists your project's dependencies.

4. Install Barfin

Install the Barfin package via npm by running:

npm install barfin

Installing and connecting Redis

1. Install and run Redis

Download and install Redis from the official website. Start the Redis server.

2. Install the Redis library for TypeScript

Install the redis library via npm:

npm install redis

Creating a TypeScript microservice and connecting to Redis

1. Create a microservice file

Create a new file (e.g., microservice.ts) for your microservice code.

2. Import and configure the Redis library

In your TypeScript file, import the redis library and configure the connection to the Redis server:

import * as Redis from "redis";

// Create a client to connect to Redis
const redisClient = Redis.createClient();
  1. Use Redis in Your Microservice: You can use Redis functions such as set, get, publish, subscribe, etc., to store and exchange data within your microservice.

Example code for connecting and working with Redis:

import * as Redis from "redis";

// Create a client to connect to Redis
const redisClient = Redis.createClient();

// Example of working with Redis
redisClient.set("example_key", "example_value", (err, reply) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error("Error setting value in Redis:", err);
  } else {
    console.log("Value set in Redis:", reply);
  }
});

// Getting a value from Redis
redisClient.get("example_key", (err, value) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error("Error getting value from Redis:", err);
  } else {
    console.log("Value from Redis:", value);
  }
});

// Close the connection to Redis
redisClient.quit();

Please note that this is a basic example. In real applications, you would add logic for working with data, integrating with other microservices, and managing trading operations.

Remember to install all necessary dependencies using npm install before running your microservice.
