Package Exports
- ipld
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 (ipld) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API
.put(node, options, callback)
Store the given node of a recognized IPLD Format.
options
is an object that must contain one of the following combinations:
cid
- the CID of the nodehashAlg
andformat
- the hashAlg and the format that should be used to create the CID of the node
callback
is a function that should have the signature as following: function (err, cid) {}
, where err
is an Error object in case of error and cid
is the cid of the stored object.
.get(cid [, path] [, options], callback)
Retrieve a node by the given
cid
orcid + path
options
is an optional object containing:
localResolve: bool
- if true, get will only attempt to resolve the path locally
callback
should be a function with the signature function (err, result)
, the result being an object with:
value
- the value that resulted from the getremainderPath
- If it didn't manage to successfully resolve the whole path through or if simply thelocalResolve
option was passed.
.getStream(cid [, path] [, options])
Same as get, but returns a source pull-stream that is used to pass the fetched node.
.treeStream(cid [, path] [, options])
Returns all the paths under a cid + path through a pull-stream. Accepts the following options:
recursive
- bool - traverse through links to complete the graph.
.remove(cid, callback)
Remove a node by the given
