Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

bitcoinfilesjs

bitcoinfilesjs is a JavaScript Library for building transactions for Bitcoin Files Protocol (BFP). Methods for uploading and downloading files are provided per the BFP specification. For convenience, BITBOX network functionality has been built into the library.

Other tools using the Bitcoin Files Protocol include:

NPM

Installation

For node.js

npm install bitcoinfiles

For browser

<script src='https://unpkg.com/bitcoinfiles'></script>

Example File Download

const Bfp = require('bitcoinfiles').bfp;
const bfp = new Bfp();

// 1 - download file using URI
let result;
(async function(){
    result = await bfp.downloadFile('bitcoinfile:7e4600323c934926369c136562f5483e3df79baf087c8dd2b0ed1aea69d5ee49');
    console.log("download complete.");
})();

// Wait for download to complete -- Mario.png TAKES ABOUT 6 SEC TO DOWNLOAD!

// 2 - result includes a boolean check telling you if the file's sha256 matches the file's metadata```
if(result.passesHashCheck){
    console.log("Success: downloaded file sha256 matches file's metadata");
}

// 3 - do something with the file...
let fileBuffer = result.fileBuf;

Example File Upload

Below is a simple example. For a more complete React.js file upload example visit SimpleToken.cash website

const Bfp = require('bitcoinfiles').bfp;
const Network = require('bitcoinfiles').network;
const BITBOX = require('bitcoinfiles').bitbox;

const bfp = new Bfp();
const network = new Network();

// 1 - get a file and file metadata somehow 
const someFileBuffer = new Buffer.from('aabbccddeeff', 'hex');
const fileName = 'a test file';
const fileExt = 'txt';
const fileSize = someFileBuffer.length
const fileSha256Hex = BITBOX.Crypto.sha256(someFileBuffer).toString('hex');

// 2 - estimate upload cost for funding the transaction
let config = {
    msgType: 1,
    chunkCount: 1,
    fileName: fileName,
    fileExt: fileExt,
    fileSize: fileSize,
    fileSha256Hex: fileSha256Hex,
    prevFileSha256Hex: null,
    fileUri: null,
    chunkData: null  // chunk not needed for cost estimate stage
};
let uploadCost = Bfp.calculateFileUploadCost(fileSize, config);
console.log('upload cost: ', uploadCost);

// 3 - create a funding transaction
let fundingAddress = 'bitcoincash:qqgvrkm0xpmwqgyhfm65qxv70tjtwma6lgk07ffv9u'
let fundingWif = 'KzcuA9xnDRrb9cPh29N7EQbBhQQLMWtcrDwKbEMoahmwBNACNRfa'

// 4 - Make sure address above is funded with the amount equal to the uploadCost
let fundingUtxo;

(async function(){
    let txo = await network.getLastUtxoWithRetry(fundingAddress);
    
    console.log('got funding Utxo.')
})();

// wait for network to resolve...

// 5 - upload the file
let fileId;
(async function(){
 fileId = await bfp.uploadFile(fundingUtxo, fundingAddress, fundingWif, someFileBuffer, fileName, fileExt);
 console.log('fileId: ', fileId);
})(); 

// wait for upload to complete resolve... Done.

Get File Metadata


const bfp = require('bitcoinfiles');

let metadata;
(async function(){
    metadata = await bfp.bitdb.getFileMetadata("dc76c5bd116fd61713c5b454b393212e33a1b2a8c926dcc40261f955d59b8e90","qrg3fvfue463rc5genp2kyrj4mg6g2lpxst0y4wamw");
    console.log('metadata: ', metadata);
})

// metadata : 
// { filename: 'tes158',
//        fileext: '.json',
//        size: '017a',
//        sha256: '018321383bf2672befe28629d1e159af812260268a8aa77bbd4ec27489d65b58',
//        prev_sha256: '',
//        ext_uri: '' }
