vlt Launches "reproduce": A New Tool Challenging the Limits of Package Provenance
vlt's new "reproduce" tool verifies npm packages against their source code, outperforming traditional provenance adoption in the JavaScript ecosystem.
This library allows you to interact with the Swarm network from JavaScript.
Install
npm install swarm-js
Import
// Loads the Swarm API pointing to the official gateway
const swarm = require("swarm-js").at("http://swarm-gateways.net");
With JSON:
Raw data:
const file = "test file"; // could also be an Uint8Array of binary data
swarm.upload(file).then(hash => {
console.log("Uploaded file. Address:", hash);
})
Directory:
To upload a directory, just call swarm.upload(directory)
, where directory is an object mapping paths to entries, those containing a mime-type and the data (a buffer).
const dir = {
"/foo.txt": {type: "text/plain", data: "file 0"},
"/bar.txt": {type: "text/plain", data: "file 1"}
};
swarm.upload(dir).then(hash => {
console.log("Uploaded directory. Address:", hash);
});
From disk:
On Node.js:
swarm.upload({
path: "/path/to/thing", // path to data / file / directory
kind: "directory", // could also be "file" or "data"
defaultFile: "/index.html"}) // optional, and only for kind === "directory"
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log);
On browsers:
// only works inside an event
document.onClick = function() {
swarm.upload({pick: "file"}) // could also be "directory" or "data"
.then(alert);
};
With JSON:
Raw data:
const fileHash = "a5c10851ef054c268a2438f10a21f6efe3dc3dcdcc2ea0e6a1a7a38bf8c91e23";
swarm.download(fileHash).then(buffer => {
console.log("Downloaded file:", buffer.toString());
});
Directory:
const dirHash = "7e980476df218c05ecfcb0a2ca73597193a34c5a9d6da84d54e295ecd8e0c641";
swarm.download(dirHash).then(dir => {
console.log("Downloaded directory:");
for (let path in dir) {
console.log("-", path, ":", dir[path].data.toString());
}
});
To disk:
On Node.js:
swarm.download("DAPP_HASH", "/target/dir")
.then(path => console.log(`Downloaded DApp to ${path}.`))
.catch(console.log);
On browser:
(Just link the Swarm URL.)
