Graph Push

Efficiently push an IPLD graph to a server over websockets.

Only supports dag-cbor graph traversal.

Usage:

const {client, server} = require('graph-push')

let toString = cid => cid.toBaseEncodedString()

/* simple in-memory database */
let db = new Map()
let get = async cid => {
  return db.get(toString(cid))
}
let has = async cid => {
  return db.has(toString(cid))
}
let put = async (cid, buffer) => {
  db.put(toString(cid), buffer)
}

/* test server setup and push */
let _server = server({has, put})
_server.listen(2345, async () => {
  let rootBlock = await getRootBlock()
  let info = await client('ws://localhost:2345', rootBlock, get)
  console.log(info) // {pushed: 123} /* new blocks pushed */
})

/* uses unixfs to pull a directory recusively from fs */
let makeTestGraph = async () => {
  let unixfs = require('js-unixfsv2-draft')
  let last
  for await (let block of unixfs.dir(__dirname)) {
    last = block
    map.set(block.cid.toBaseEncodedString(), block.data)
  }
  return last
}

client(url, rootBlock, get)

url is the URL for the websocket server.

rootBlock is an instance of Block from ipfs-block for the root node of the tree you want to push.

get is an async function that takes a CID instance and returns a buffer.

server({options})

Available options:

• has(cid) Required. Async function that returns boolean value if the service has the block for the cid (instance of CID).
• put(cid, buffer) Required Async function that writes the block to storage. Takes a CID instance and the binary representation of the block.
• server Instance of http or https server to bind websocket handler to.

Server.listen(port, cb)

Identical to http/https server listen.

Server.clost(cb)

Identical to http/https server close.
