normcore

normcore

No-config distributed streams using hypercore.

Usage

const normcore = require('normcore')

const feed1 = normcore('welcome-to-the-norm-zone')
const key = feed1.key.toString('hex')
feed1.append('hello')
feed1.append('this is norman')

const feed2 = normcore(key)
feed2.createReadStream().on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('feed2: ' + data.toString())
})

API

feed = normcore(keyOrNameOrPath, [opts])

Create a new normcore instance. If you pass in a hypercore hex key it will fetch that feed. If you pass it an absolute path it will create a core at that location. Otherwise it just uses the string as the local db name

opts, if specified, gets passed through as hyperdiscovery options

key = feed.key

Get the hypercore key. You probably usually want to turn it into a hex value:

const hypercore = require('hypercore')
const feed = normcore('omnormnormnormnorm')
console.log(feed.key.toString('hex'))

feed.append(data)

Write data into the feed

writeableStream = feed.createWriteableStream()

Create a new writeableStream you can write data to

readableStream = feed.createReadableStream()

Create a new readableStream you can read data from

Installation

$ npm install normcore
