dat-encoding

Dat's way of encoding and decoding dat links. Pretty similar to base36!

Build Status

Example

var encoding = require('dat-encoding')

var link = '2fdiu7i6kpzx4h9qos6eqldjghd2ut5hx0e8bekm0bkwiax3dt'
var buf = encoding.decode(link)
console.log('%s -> %s', link, buf)
console.log('%s -> %s', buf, encoding.encode(buf))

API

.encode(buf[, opts])

Encode buf into a string that works well in urls. Throws if buf isn't 32 bytes of length.

Pass legacy: true to create an old style hex encoded link.

.decode(str)

Decode str into its binary representation. If str is a 64 character legacy link, simply applies hex decoding. Also supports dat:// and dat.com/ links. Throws if the raw link isn't 64 bytes of base64 or 50 bytes of base36.
