IPFS Connector for Yjs

(Demo video)

Use it!

Retrieve this with npm:

$ npm install y-ipfs-connector --save

Example

// you need to create and inject a IPFS object
const IPFS = require('ipfs')

const Y = require('yjs')
require('y-ipfs-connector')(Y)

// other Yjs deps:
require('y-memory')(Y)
require('y-array')(Y)
require('y-text')(Y)


// create IPFS node
const ipfs = new IPFS({
  EXPERIMENTAL: {
    pubsub: true // need this to work
  }
})

Y({
  db: {
    name: 'memory'
  },
  connector: {
    name: 'ipfs', // use the IPFS connector
    ipfs: ipfs, // inject the IPFS object
    room: 'Textarea-example-dev'
  },
  sourceDir: '/bower_components', // location of the y-* modules
  share: {
    textarea: 'Text' // y.share.textarea is of type Y.Text
  }
}).then(function (y) {
  // bind the textarea to a shared text element
  y.share.textarea.bind(document.getElementById('textfield'))
}

Signature

options.sign

You can sign messages. For that, you have to provide a sign option, which needs to be a function that accepts a message (string) and calls back with a buffer containing the signature for it (string):

Y({
  connector: {
    name: 'ipfs',
    sign: (m, callback) => { ... }
    // ...
  }
  // ...
})

Using this, messages will be sent alongside with a signature, which can be validated.

options.verifySignature

You can also verify a signature for a given message by providing a function like this:

Y({
  connector: {
    name: 'ipfs',
    verifySignature: (peer, message, signature, callback) => { ... }
    // ...
  }
  // ...
})

options.encode

Optional function that receives the message and encodes it. Useful if you want to encrypt the content before sending.

options.encode = (message) => {
  return encrypt(message)
}

options.decode

Optional function that receives the message and decodes it. Useful if you want to decrypt the content after receiving.

options.decode = (message) => {
  return decrypt(message)
}

Debug

Activate y-ipfs-connector on debug to see log messages.
