fs-blob-store

Streamable content addressable blob object store that is streams2 and implements the blob store interface on top of the fs module.

Conforms to the abstract-blob-store API and passes it's test suite.

npm install fs-blob-store

Usage

var blobs = require('fs-blob-store')
var store = blobs({path: './data'})

var w = store.createWriteStream()

w.write('hello ')
w.write('world\n')

w.end(function() {
  console.log('blob written: '+w.hash)
  store.createReadStream(w).pipe(process.stdout)
})

API

var store = blobs(opts)

Creates a new instance. Opts should have a path property to where the blobs should live on the fs. The directory will be created if it doesn't exist. If not supplied it will default to path.join(process.cwd(), 'blobs')

You can also specify a node crytpo module hashing algorithm to use using the algo key in options. The default is sha256.

var readStream = store.createReadStream(opts)

Open a read stream to a blob. opts must have a hash key with the hash of the blob you want to read.

var writeStream = store.createWriteStream([cb])

Add a new blob to the store. Use writeStream.hash to get the hash after the finish event has fired or add a callback which will be called with callback(err, metadata).

store.exists(metadata, cb)

Check if an blob exists in the blob store. metadata must have a hash property. Callback is called with callback(err, exists)

store.remove(metadata, [cb])

Remove a blob from the store. metadata must have a hash property. Callback is called with callback(err, wasDeleted)
