unixfs-v2 DRAFT implementation

Usage:

const unixfs = require('unixfsv2')
const blockstore = require('some-block-store')

const storeDirectory = async path => {
  let last
  for await (let block of unixfs(__dirname)) {
    await blockstore.put(block)
    last = block
  }
  return last.cid.toBaseEncodedString()
}

API

unixfs.dir(path[, recursive=true][, chunker=fixedChunker(1meg)])

Returns an async generator that yields Block instances.

The last block instance returned is the dag-cbor block for the root node.

unixfs.file(path[, chunker=fixedChunker(1meg)])

Returns an async generator that yields Block instances.

The last block instance returned is the dag-cbor block for the root node.

unixfs.fs(cid, get)

const load = async dir => {
  let map = new Map()
  let last
  for await (let block of unixfs.dir(dir)) {
    last = block
    map.set(block.cid.toBaseEncodedString(), block.data)
  }
  return {
    cid: last.cid,
    get: async cid => map.get(cid.toBaseEncodedString())
  }
}

let {cid, get} = await load('/some/directory')

let fs = unixfs(cid, get)
for await (let key of fs.ls('/sub/dir')) {
  console.log(key)
}
for await (let block of fs.read('/sub/dir/file.txt')) {
  console.log(block.cid.toBaseEncodedString())
}

cid is an instance of CID. get is an async functions that takes a CID instance and returns a Buffer.

fs.ls(path-to-dir[, objects = false])

Returns an async iterator of keys in the sub directory. If objects is set it will yield the deserialized node for each key in the directory.

fs.read(path-to-file)

Returns an async iterator of Blocks for the file.
