Install

npm install @textile/textile

Usage

@textile/textile provides access to Textile APIs in apps based on a Project Token. For details on getting an app token, see textileio/textile or join the Textile Slack.

Threads APIs

Textile provides remote threads APIs your app can use.

• token: a project token from your textile project
• deviceId: a unique ID (uuid) for this user in your app

import {API} from '@textile/textile'
import {Client} from '@textile/threads-client'

const api = new API({
    token: '<project token>',
    deviceId: '<user id>'
})
await api.start()

const client = new Client(api.threadsConfig)
const newStore = client.newStore()

Developing threads with local deamon

Requires you run the Threads daemon (threadsd) on localhost. See instructions here.

import {API} from '@textile/textile'
import {Client} from '@textile/threads-client'

const api = new API({
    token: '<project token>',
    deviceId: '<user id>',
    dev: true
})
await api.start()

const client = new Client(api.threadsConfig)
const newStore = client.newStore()
