Channel primitive for OrbitDB that can be used to create 1-to-1 to 1-to-n State Channels, for example a Payment Channel.
Status: Experimental
// Create a state channel
// <tx hash> is the blockchain transaction hash where the channel was created/announced
// <creator id> is the ID of the node that created the channel, eg. the payer in case of Payment Channel
// <max allowed spending> the maximum allowed amount of currency that can be spend in this channel
await db.create(<tx hash>, <creator id>, <max allowed spending>)
// Update the state
const finalTx = await db.send({ amount: 1 })
// Close the channel
await db.close(finalTx)See ChannelIndex.js for how the logic and verification of a (payment) channel could work and ChannelStore for the API. See also OrbitDB Channel Tests.
