What is MelonBarPlayground?

MelonBarPlayground is a package for testing things out to learn or just to have fun. All example modules will be defined in com.melonbar.playground.module.*. Currently, all testing must be done in a hacky fashion via modifying the main method in Playground.java (the entrypoint), re-compiling, then running.

How to get started

NOTE: given that this package's purpose is experimentation, please protect your API credentials and don't put any amount of money you're willing to lose on the line

First get Coinbase Pro API credentials:

1. To communicate via the HTTPS endpoint, API credentials are required for authentication
   • Create an API key on the Coinbase Pro API page
   • You may skip everything if you only intend to use the websocket feed (meaning no orders may be placed)
2. Create credentials.properties in src/main/resources folder
3. Define fields: api_key, api_password, and api_secret_key, which you got from the Coinbase Pro website

credentials.properties should be ignored by default from .gitignore, but always double-check to make sure no sensitive information is being pushed.

Modules

1. Want to use an existing module?
   • Import any custom or pre-existing extension of com.melonbar.playground.module.AbstractModule and invoke run()
2. Want to create a custom module?
   • Create your new module under com.melonbar.playground.module.<MODULE_NAME>
   • Extend AbstractModule, and implement methods run() and init()
     • init() is invoked once per instance during initialization
   • Import your custom module to executable code and invoke via run()
