orbitdb-nos-identity-provider

OrbitDB and AvionDB Identity Provider for nOS Network and other ARK Core-based blockchains.

Installing

npm install @nosplatform/orbitdb-nos-identity-provider

Example:

const IPFS = require('ipfs')
const OrbitDB = require('orbit-db')
const NetworkIdentity = require('@nosplatform/orbitdb-nos-identity-provider').default;

const initIPFSInstance = async () => {
    return await IPFS.create({
        repo: './ipfs'
    });
};

initIPFSInstance().then(async ipfs => {
        // Add our Identity Provider
        OrbitDB.Identities.addIdentityProvider(NetworkIdentity);
        // Load a passphrase
        const passphrase = "enter any bip39 mnemonic key here";
        // Set up the identity using our passphrase
        const identity = await OrbitDB.Identities.createIdentity({ type: `NetworkIdentityType`, passphrase });

        // Set up the OrbitDB instance using our identity
        const orbitdb = await OrbitDB.createInstance(ipfs, { identity });

        // Only the wallet with the configured passphrase will be able to write to this db
        const db = await orbitdb.log("hello");
        await db.load();

        // This will export the db address.
        // Other services can sync the database with this address (db.load("/orbitdb/{root}/{path}")).
        console.log(db.address);

        // The database can only be written to by the owner of the passphrase.
        // If another passphrase is entered above and the same db address is loaded, adding a db item will throw a permission error.
        const hash = await db.add("world");
});
