How to get balance of all accounts in ethereum network using javascript

Question

I have created a set of accounts in private ethereum networks. I am able to check the balance of all these accounts using the following command:

> checkAllBalances();

I have created a web page that will display the balance of all the accounts on the click of a button. So, I want to write a javascript to list the balances. Any ideas on how to do it?

Answer 1

You can write a function that will fetch the account balance using the  eth.getBalance() method. Refer the below code:

function checkAllBalances() { 
var i = 0; 
eth.accounts.forEach( function(e){
     console.log("eth.accounts["+i+"]: " + e + " \tbalance: " + web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e), "ether") + " ether"); 
i++; 
})
};
