Usage

Use the web3 object directly from global namespace:

console.log(web3); // {eth: .., shh: ...} // it's here!

Set a provider (HttpProvider)

web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

There you go, now you can use it:

var coinbase = web3.eth.coinbase;
var balance = web3.eth.getBalance(coinbase);

You can find more examples in example directory.
