deduplicate

⚠️ Documentaion is very much incomplete but you can always checkout the test file for usage guide.

Introduction

This package provides all the necessaries utility functions to implements file de-duplication ranging from splitting file content to blocks, generating hash and merging the file blocks together without corrupting the file.

Installation

    npm install @akumzy/dd
    # Or
    yarn add @akumzy/dd

Usage

import Dedupe from '@akumzy/dd`

• Dedupe.deduplicate is used for creating file blocks and hash.

Dedupe.deduplicate(
    path: string,
    chunk?: number,
    algorithm?: string
): Promise<Dedupe.HashObject>

• path: File absolute path.
• chunk: Block size in bytes
  • default: 500 * 1024 (500kb)
• algorithm: Algorithm to use for hash file.
  • default: sha256

Example

const ONE_MAGA_BYTES = 1024 * 1024
let filePath = 'path-to-file'
let info = await deduplicate(filePath, ONE_MAGA_BYTES)
console.log(info) // =>
//  {
//     hash: 'f27a663ef8df8091e94d07ba090449a34b68461b9af5557377423057ce902484',
//     blocks: [
//       {
//         order: 1,
//         start: 0,
//         end: 281,
//         hash: '673c83b6fd07ba91954d4bc88f631bbe31bb9675b6c44b635801157c0ba94861'
//       }
//     ]
//   }

• Dedupe.createBlocks is used for writing blocks to disk.

Dedupe.createBlocks(
    options: Deduplicate.CreateBlocksOptions
): Promise<void>;

Example

await createBlocks({
  input: filePath,
  bucket: directoryToSaveBlocks,
  blocks: info.blocks
})
