peer-fs

A multiwriter peer-to-peer filesystem. Supports Hyperdrive V10.

Usage

See test/index.test.js for examples.

API

var drive = KappaDrive(storage, key, opts)

Returns a KappaCore instance. Passes these options directly to that instance.

In addition, peerfs accepts the following optional arguments:

• resolveFork: a function taking values of known versions of that file. If there are more than one here, there is a fork. By default, this returns the first item in the list. Overwrite this to get more fancy.

drive.replicate()

Replicate between two peer-fs instances.

drive.readFile(filename, cb)

Read asyncronously.

drive.writeFile(filename, content, cb)

Write asyncronously.

drive.createWriteStream(filename, cb)

Write to a stream.

drive.createReadStream(filename, cb)

Read file from a stream.

Credit

Huge credit to Karissa for ideating and writing peerfs and allowing us to run with it and complete the API.

TODO

• Move all of the functions over from hyperdrive to the top constructor instance. (e.g., readdir, stat)
• Improve performance and stability of index writes by using something other than JSON.
• Allow resolveFork function to get access to the stat object of the file on that write so that it can make a more intelligent display or make better decisions about the fork
• Allow forks to be unresolved cc @substack
• When writing, in the link we should record the seq of the hyperdrive, and on whoHasFile, checkout to that seq if its not the latest
