scuttlebot blobs plugin

Send/receive files by content-hashes.

get: source

Get a blob by its ID.

get {blobid}

get(blobid)

has: async

Check if the blob of the given ID is stored in the DB.

has {blobid}

has(blobid, cb)

add: sink

Add a new blob to the DB.

cat ./file | add [hash]

pull(source, add(hash, cb))

• hash (base64 string): Optional, expected hash of the file. If the file does not match the hash, it is not stored, and an error is emitted.

rm: async

Remove a blob from the store.

rm hash

rm(hash, cb)

• hash (base64 string): hash of the file.

ls: source

List the hashes of the blobs in the DB.

ls

ls()

want: async

Begin searching the network for the blob of the given hash.

want {hash} [--nowait]

want(hash, { nowait: }, cb)

By default, want will not call the cb until the blob has been downloaded. If you want the cb to be called immediately, specify nowait: true. The cb will be called with true/false as the value, telling you if the blob was already present.

wants: sync

List the currently-wanted blobs' data-structures.

wants

wants()

changes: source

Listen for any newly-downloaded blobs.

changes

changes()

When a blob is downloaded, this stream will emit the hash of the blob.
