Get Account

Now you will interact with the node's API

Instructions

For this exercise you will have to create a node script that :

• Loads an ethereum javascript library. I recommend ethers.js, Web3.js is a common alternative.
• create a function getAccount() that connects to a local node (http://localhost:8545) and returns the address of the first account available.
• export the function

function getAccount() {
  //...
}
module.exports = getAccount;
