import { getTip } from '@nexajs/rostrum'
import http from 'http'
const hostname = '127.0.0.1'
const port = 3000
const server = http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
    const blockTip = await getTip()
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
    res.end(`Current NEXA block height is: ${blockTip.height}`)
})
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
    console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`)
})
