cobox-log

A multifeed source for all cobox logs. Uses kappa-core@experimental and kappa-view-query to establish a queryable set of indices.

A CoBox log can be identified with a header appended as the first entry to the feed.

Usage

const Kappa = require('kappa-core')
const multifeed = require('multifeed')
const { Header } = require('hypertrie/lib/messages')
const crypto = require('hypercore-crypto')
const mkdirp = require('mkdirp')
const tmpdir = require('tmpdir')
const level = require('level')

const tmp = tmpdir().name
mkdirp.sync(tmp)

// author is a global keypair used to sign all records
// it is more akin to an identity than a log's signing keypairs
// in cobox, this is derived from a parent key

// var author = crypto.keyPair().publicKey
var author = '5c448d8aecdc013d9145b6e936f9b255434e7f9e728213486f0b18f211512fb2'

const log = new Log({
  core: new Kappa(),
  feeds: multifeed(ram),
  keyPair: crypto.keyPair(),
  author,
  db: level(tmp)
})

log.get(0, (err, payload) => {
  Header.decode(payload)
  // { type: 'log', metadata: null }
})

var payload = PeerAbout.encode({
  type: 'peer/about',
  timestamp: 1580813687256,
  author,
  content: { name: 'magpie' }
}

log.publish(payload, (err, msg) => {
  // {
  //   key: '031fb3bd3c2571a7ca54a01a1021e374fd63d0b56b1a9ab142b9ae7a24287dc8@1',
  //   seq: 1,
  //   value: {
  //     type: 'peer/about',
  //     timestamp: 1580813687256,
  //     author: '5c448d8aecdc013d9145b6e936f9b255434e7f9e728213486f0b18f211512fb2',
  //     content: {
  //       name: 'magpie'
  //     }
  //   }
  // }
