kaba-dat-api2

The internal implementation for Kaba's DatArchive APIs. Works with Dat 2.0.

All async methods work with callbacks and promises. If no callback is provided, a promise will be returned.

Any time a hyperdrive archive is expected, a scoped-fs instance can be provided, unless otherwise stated.

var hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
var ScopedFS = require('scoped-fs')

var archive = hyperdrive('./my-hyperdrive')
var scopedfs = new ScopedFS('./my-scoped-fs')

await pda.readFile(archive, '/hello.txt') // read the published hello.txt
await pda.readFile(scopedfs, '/hello.txt') // read the local hello.txt

** NOTE: this library is written natively for node 12 and above. **

Activity Streams

watch(archive[, path])

archive Hyperdrive archive (object).

es.on('data', ([event, args]) => {
  if (event === 'changed') {
    console.log(args.path, 'has changed')
  }
})

// alternatively, via emit-stream:

var emitStream = require('emit-stream')
var events = emitStream(pda.watch(archive))
events.on('changed', args => {
  console.log(args.path, 'has changed')
})

createNetworkActivityStream(archive)

archive Hyperdrive archive (object). Can not be a scoped-fs object.
Returns a Readable stream.

Watches the archive for network events, which it emits as an emit-stream. Supported events:

['network-changed',{connections}] - The number of connections has changed. connections is a number.
['download',{feed,block,bytes}] - A block has been downloaded. feed will either be "metadata" or "content". block is the index of data downloaded. bytes is the number of bytes in the block.
['upload',{feed,block,bytes}] - A block has been uploaded. feed will either be "metadata" or "content". block is the index of data downloaded. bytes is the number of bytes in the block.
['sync',{feed}] - All known blocks have been downloaded. feed will either be "metadata" or "content".

var es = pda.createNetworkActivityStream(archive)

es.on('data', ([event, args]) => {
  if (event === 'network-changed') {
    console.log('Connected to %d peers', args.connections)
  } else if (event === 'download') {
    console.log('Just downloaded %d bytes (block %d) of the %s feed', args.bytes, args.block, args.feed)
  } else if (event === 'upload') {
    console.log('Just uploaded %d bytes (block %d) of the %s feed', args.bytes, args.block, args.feed)
  } else if (event === 'sync') {
    console.log('Finished downloading', args.feed)
  }
})

// alternatively, via emit-stream:

var emitStream = require('emit-stream')
var events = emitStream(es)
events.on('network-changed', args => {
  console.log('Connected to %d peers', args.connections)
})
events.on('download', args => {
  console.log('Just downloaded %d bytes (block %d) of the %s feed', args.bytes, args.block, args.feed)
})
events.on('upload', args => {
  console.log('Just uploaded %d bytes (block %d) of the %s feed', args.bytes, args.block, args.feed)
})
events.on('sync', args => {
  console.log('Finished downloading', args.feed)

Exporters

exportFilesystemToArchive(opts[, cb])

opts.srcPath Source path in the filesystem (string). Required.
opts.dstArchive Destination archive (object). Required.
opts.dstPath Destination path within the archive. Optional, defaults to '/'.
opts.ignore Files not to copy (array of strings). Optional. Uses anymatch.
opts.inplaceImport Should import source directory in-place? (boolean). If true and importing a directory, this will cause the directory's content to be copied directy into the dstPath. If false, will cause the source-directory to become a child of the dstPath.
opts.dryRun Don't actually make changes, just list what changes will occur. Optional, defaults to false.
opts.progress Function called with the stats object on each file updated.
Returns stats on the export.

Copies a file-tree into an archive.

var stats = await pda.exportFilesystemToArchive({
  srcPath: '/tmp/mystuff',
  dstArchive: archive,
  inplaceImport: true
})
console.log(stats) /* => {
  addedFiles: ['fuzz.txt', 'foo/bar.txt'],
  updatedFiles: ['something.txt'],
  removedFiles: [],
  addedFolders: ['foo'],
  removedFolders: [],
  skipCount: 3, // files skipped due to the target already existing
  fileCount: 3,
  totalSize: 400 // bytes
}*/

exportArchiveToFilesystem(opts[, cb])

opts.srcArchive Source archive (object). Required.
opts.dstPath Destination path in the filesystem (string). Required.
opts.srcPath Source path within the archive. Optional, defaults to '/'.
opts.ignore Files not to copy (array of strings). Optional. Uses anymatch.
opts.overwriteExisting Proceed if the destination isn't empty (boolean). Default false.
opts.skipUndownloadedFiles Ignore files that haven't been downloaded yet (boolean). Default false. If false, will wait for source files to download.
Returns stats on the export.

Copies an archive into the filesystem.

NOTE

Unlike exportFilesystemToArchive, this will not compare the target for equality before copying. If overwriteExisting is true, it will simply copy all files again.

var stats = await pda.exportArchiveToFilesystem({
  srcArchive: archive,
  dstPath: '/tmp/mystuff',
  skipUndownloadedFiles: true
})
console.log(stats) /* => {
  addedFiles: ['fuzz.txt', 'foo/bar.txt'],

  totalSize: 400 // bytes
}*/

opts.srcArchive Source archive (object). Required.
opts.dstArchive Destination archive (object). Required.
opts.srcPath Source path within the source archive (string). Optional, defaults to '/'.
opts.dstPath Destination path within the destination archive (string). Optional, defaults to '/'.
opts.ignore Files not to copy (array of strings). Optional. Uses anymatch.

opts.dryRun Don't actually make changes, just list what changes will occur. Optional, defaults to false.
opts.intoTargetFolder Export into the dstPath target folder instead of replacing it.

Copies an archive into another archive.

NOTE

Unlike exportFilesystemToArchive, this will not compare the target for equality before copying. It copies files indescriminately.

  srcArchive: archiveA,
  dstArchive: archiveB,
  skipUndownloadedFiles: true

console.log(stats) /* => {
  addedFiles: ['fuzz.txt', 'foo/bar.txt'],

  {type: 'del', name: 'hello.txt'}
