SSB Bendy Butt

Implementation of bendy butt in JS.

You can use this module as an ssb-db2 plugin, or you can use it as a standalone tool to generate and validate bendybutt messages.

Installation

npm install ssb-bendy-butt

Requires Node.js 12 or higher.

Usage in ssb-db2

• Requires Node.js 12 or higher
• Requires secret-stack@^6.2.0
• Requires ssb-db2@>=5.0.0

 SecretStack({appKey: require('ssb-caps').shs})
   .use(require('ssb-master'))
+  .use(require('ssb-db2'))
+  .use(require('ssb-bendy-butt'))
   .use(require('ssb-conn'))
   .use(require('ssb-blobs'))
   .call(null, config)

Now you can call ssb-db2's create(opts) API providing opts.feedFormat as "bendybutt-v1".

Usage as a standalone

Notice you import the /format from the module.

const ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys');
const bendyButtFormat = require('ssb-bendy-butt/format');

const msgVal = bendyButtFormat.newNativeMsg({
  keys: ssbKeys.generate(null, null, 'bendybutt-v1'),
  content: {
    type: 'post',
    text: 'Hello, world!',
  },
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  previous: null,
  hmacKey: null,
});

This module conforms with ssb-feed-format so with ssb-bendy-butt you can use all the methods specified by ssb-feed-format.
