Usage

var CreateTestSbot = require('scuttle-testbot')
var ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys')

var pietKeys = ssbKeys.generate()
var katieKeys = ssbKeys.generate()

var myTempSbot = CreateTestSbot({name: 'testBotName', keys: pietKeys})

var katie = myTempSbot.createFeed(katieKeys)
var piet = myTempSbot.createFeed(pietKeys)

piet.add({type: 'test', content: "a test message"},function(err, data) {
  myTempSbot.close() //don't forget to close your sbot otherwise your script will never exit. ;)
  console.log(data)
})

API

var CreateTestSbot = require('scuttle-testbot')

CreateTestSbot(opts={})

Returns a ssb-server instance.

By default, CreateTestSbot deletes an existing database of the same name before starting.

Valid opts keys include:

name (default: ssb-test + Number(new Date)) - myTestName: Sets the database in /tmp/myTestName

startUnclean (default: false) - true: Don't delete an existing database before starting up.

keys (default: scuttle-testbot generates a new set of random keys) - keys: generated by ssb-keys.

CreateTestSbot.use(require('ssb-about'))

CreateTestSbot.use lets you add ssb-server plugins. use can be chained the same as the ssb-server api.

Install

With npm installed, run

$ npm install scuttle-testbot
