new HoloHash( input )

A Javascript library for managing Holochain's HoloHash types.

Overview

This module is intended to provide Javascript classes for managing the various HoloHash types. It is designed to resemble the struct names and implementations based on Holochain's holo_hash crate (https://crates.io/crates/holo_hash). Although, method names and formats have been modified to match Javascript's architecture.

Features

• Construct from a 32-byte raw hash
• Construct from a 36-byte raw hash + DHT address
• Construct from a 39-byte full Holo Hash
• Parse from the Holo Hash string representation (eg. uhCAkzycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uMlNUQU)
• Parse from a url-safe-base64 string (no leading u)
  • eg. 32-byte zycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uM
  • eg. 36-byte zycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uMlNUQU
  • eg. 39-byte hCAkzycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uMlNUQU
• Custom error classes (similar to the holo_hash crate)
• Proper class inheritance for using instanceof
  • eg. (new AgentPubKey(...) instanecof HoloHash) === true
  • eg. (new AgentPubKey(...) instanecof AnyDhtHash) === true
  • eg. (new AgentPubKey(...) instanecof AgentPubKey) === true
  • eg. (new AgentPubKey(...) instanecof EntryHash) === false

Install

npm i @spartan-hc/holo-hash

Basic Usage

import { HoloHash } from '@spartan-hc/holo-hash';

new HoloHash("uhCAkzycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uMlNUQU");
// AgentPubKey(39) [
//   132,  32,  36, 207,  39,   6,  42, 162,  2,
//    95, 176,  73, 215,  86, 158, 133, 121, 16,
//   209, 230, 217, 119, 208,  52, 155,  79, 31,
//   250, 159,  28, 212, 252, 178, 226, 227, 37,
//    53,  68,  20
// ]

Alternatively, attach a method to the native String.prototype.

import { bindNative } from '@spartan-hc/holo-hash';

bindNative();

"uhCAkzycGKqICX7BJ11aehXkQ0ebZd9A0m08f-p8c1Pyy4uMlNUQU".toHoloHash();
// AgentPubKey(39) [
//   132,  32,  36, 207,  39,   6,  42, 162,  2,
//    95, 176,  73, 215,  86, 158, 133, 121, 16,
//   209, 230, 217, 119, 208,  52, 155,  79, 31,
//   250, 159,  28, 212, 252, 178, 226, 227, 37,
//    53,  68,  20
// ]
