Readme
This package serves as a central repository for shared logic and dependencies for all IPFS packages, using
ipfs-utils
helps to easily re-use small scoped blocks of logic across all the js core interface implementations and also as a dependency proxy (thinkaegir
for domain logic dependencies).
ipfs-utils
aims to provide single function default export per file (with a few exceptions) scoped in 3 general categories:
General use and Data structs wrangling should try to be just re-exports of community packages.
The IPFS ecosystem has lots of repos with it comes several problems like:
These problems are the motivation for this package, having shared logic in this package avoids creating cyclic dependencies, centralizes common use modules/functions (exactly like aegir does for the tooling), semantic versioning for 3rd party dependencies is handled in one single place (a good example is going from streams 2 to 3) and maintainers should only care about having ipfs-utils
updated.
$ npm install --save ipfs-utils
Each function should be imported directly.
const validateAddInput = require('ipfs-utils/src/files/add-input-validation')
validateAddInput(Buffer.from('test'))
// true
