PyPI Introduces Digital Attestations to Strengthen Python Package Security
PyPI now supports digital attestations, enhancing security and trust by allowing package maintainers to verify the authenticity of Python packages.
A Software Development Kit for the hypercore-protocol
Formerly known as "dat-sdk".
Hypercore-protocol and it's ecosystem consists of a bunch of low level building blocks for working with data in distributed applications. Although this modularity makes it easy to mix and match pieces, it adds complexity when it comes to actually building something.
The Hyper SDK combines the lower level pieces of the Hyper stack into high level APIs that you can use across platforms so that you can focus on your application rather than the gritty details of how it works.
The Hyper SDK can either work "natively", which means the full storage and networking stack runs directly within the SDK. Alternatively, it supports the experimental hyperspace daemon. In this mode, the SDK needs a hyperspace daemon running and will connect to it as a client.
Node.js / Browserify workflows:
npm install --save hyper-sdk
const SDK = require('hyper-sdk')
The easiest way to get started is to run the build
command in this sdk
, then copy the bundle.js
into your own project. Here's how:
git clone git@github.com:datproject/sdk.git
cd sdk
# Compile the SDK into a single JS file
npm run build
# Copy `hyper-sdk-bundle.js` into your project
<script src="hyper-sdk-bundle.js"></script>
<script>
const SDK = window.hyperSDK
// Look at the examples from here
</script>
If the bundle above doesn't work for your setup, and you want to DIY in your own project, you'll need to mimic how the SDK generates the bundle, using:
Combine Browserify with Babel (via Babelify) to make this work in the browser:
Dev Dependencies (must be a DevDependency):
npm install --save-dev browserify babelify util
and the regular dependencies
npm install --save hyper-sdk@latest @geut/sodium-javascript-plus hyperswarm-web
Add this as the build
command in your package.json
. It is important to add the transform (-t
) with babelify
to make it work. Babel will use the aliases in the babel.config.json file to change the code from nodejs to browser.
"build": "browserify -t [ babelify --global ] index.js > bundle.js"
Once you npm run build
then you can use the generated bundle.js
in your project!
To bundle with webpack, you'll need to alias some dependencies.
const path = require('path')
module.exports = {
entry: './index.js',
target: 'web',
resolve: {
alias: {
fs: 'graceful-fs',
hyperswarm: 'hyperswarm-web',
util: './node_modules/util/util.js'
}
},
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
}
}
Then you can include ./dist/bundle.js
in your HTML page.

All available tests are run three times: For the native backend, for the hyperspace backend, and with one native and one hyperspace backend.
To run tests in Node.js simply run npm run test
in a checkout.
To run the tests in a browser, first run npm run build-test
to build the test bundle. Then, run npm run test-proxy
to run both a hyperswarm-web proxy and two Hyperspace servers that listen for clients on a websocket. Finally, open test.html
in a web browser and open the developer tools, where you should see the test results in the console.
The API supports both promises and callbacks. Everywhere where you see await
, you can instead pass a node-style callback.
Import the SDK contructor using the native backend. This means that the full storage and networking stack runs right within the current process. Works both in Node.js and in web browsers.
When running in a web browser, it needs a hyperswarm-web proxy for peer to peer connectivity.
Import the SDK contructor using the experimental hyperspace backend. Here, the SDK needs a running hyperspace server.
When running in NodeJS, this will attempt to connect to a hyperspace server running on the same machine. When running in a web browser, this will attempt to connect to a Hyperspace server over Websockets (experimental).
TODO: Document how to run a Websocket Hyperspace server.
NOTE: The hyperspace backend does not yet support the deriveSecret
function (will throw an exception if used).
const {Hypercore, Hyperdrive, resolveName, keyPair, deriveSecret, registerExtension, close} = await SDK(opts?)

This closes all resources used by the SDK so you can safely end your process. cb
will be invoked once resources are closed or if there's an error.
const key = await resolveName(url)
Resolve a DNS name to a Hypercore key.
url
is a hyper://
URL like hyper://blog.mauve.moe
key
will be the key that you can pass to Hyperdrive

.
You can also broadcast out messages to all peers with extension.broadcast(message)
const drive = Hyperdrive(keyOrName, opts)
This initializes a Hyperdrive, the SDK will begin finding peers for it and will de-duplicate calls to initializing the same drive more than once.
keyOrName
: This must be provided. It's either a hyper://
URL / key or a string identifying the name. If you want to have a writable drive, you can use the name to generate one and use the name later to get the same drive back without having to save the key somewhere.opts
: These are the options for configuring the hyperdrive.
sparse: true
: Whether the history should be loaded on the fly instead of replicating the full historysecretKey
: A secret key for granting write access. This can be useful when restoring backups.

: Specify whether you wish to lookup peers for this drive. Set false
along with announce
to avoid advertisingannounce: true
: Specify whether you wish to advertise yourself as having the drive.The rest of the Hyperdrive docs were taken from the Hyperdrive README. Note that we're wrapping over the APIs with Hyperdrive-Promise so any callback methods can be await
ed instead.

when all storage has been closed.
await feed.destroyStorage()
Closes the feed and deletes all of it's data from storage.
const {valid, invalid} = await feed.audit()
Audit all data in the feed. Will check that all current data stored matches the hashes in the merkle tree and clear the bitfield if not.
When done a report is passed to the callback that looks like this:
{
valid: 10, // how many data blocks matches the hashes
invalid: 0, // how many did not

before the event.
feed.length
How many blocks of data are available on this feed?
Populated after ready
