ssb-feed
A publishing interface for scuttlebutt feeds.
Track the state necessary to publish ssb feeds. This is built into secure-scuttlebutt, where it validates replicated messages, and it is also used "remotely" in patchbay.
By default, Scuttlebot uses a "master" identity/feed,
which sbot.publish()
will append new messages to. If you want to manipulate additional feeds,
you can load the keypair and then use this library to do so.
Example
var ssbFeed = require('ssb-feed')
var ssbClient = require('ssb-client')
var ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys')
var alice = ssbKeys.generate()
ssbClient(function (err, sbot) {
var feed = ssbFeed(sbot, alice)
// Post to alice's feed
feed.publish({
type: 'post',
text: 'hello world, I am alice.'
}, function (err) { ... })
// Also available:
console.log(feed.id)
console.log(feed.keys)
})
This example uses ssb-client
, but, if you're embedding scuttlebot
or the secure-scuttlebutt
library into your process, you can use them locally.
