Package Exports

content-hash
content-hash/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (content-hash) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

📕 API

All hex string inputs can be prefixed with 0x, but it's not mandatory.

All outputs are NOT prefixed with 0x

contentHash.decode( string ) -> string

This function takes a content hash as a hex string and returns the decoded content as a string.

const encoded = 'e3010170122029f2d17be6139079dc48696d1f582a8530eb9805b561eda517e22a892c7e3f1f'

const content = contentHash.decode(encoded)
// 'QmRAQB6YaCyidP37UdDnjFY5vQuiBrcqdyoW1CuDgwxkD4'

contentHash.fromIpfs( string ) -> string

This function takes an IPFS address as a base58 encoded string and returns the encoded content hash as a hex string.

const ipfsHash = 'QmRAQB6YaCyidP37UdDnjFY5vQuiBrcqdyoW1CuDgwxkD4'

const contentH = contentHash.fromIpfs(ipfsHash)
// 'e3010170122029f2d17be6139079dc48696d1f582a8530eb9805b561eda517e22a892c7e3f1f'

contentHash.fromSwarm( swarmHash ) -> string

This function takes a Swarm address as a hex string and returns the encoded content hash as a hex string.

const swarmHash = 'd1de9994b4d039f6548d191eb26786769f580809256b4685ef316805265ea162'

const contentH = contentHash.fromSwarm(swarmHash)
// 'e40101701b20d1de9994b4d039f6548d191eb26786769f580809256b4685ef316805265ea162'

contentHash.getCodec( contentHash ) -> string

This function takes a content hash as a hex string and returns the codec as a hex string.

const encoded = 'e40101701b20d1de9994b4d039f6548d191eb26786769f580809256b4685ef316805265ea162'

const codec = contentHash.getCodecType(encoded) // 'swarm-ns'
codec === 'ipfs-ns' // false
