Peer Client HTTP module for AllData, a distributed master-less write-once immutable event store database implementing "All Data" part of Lambda Architecture.

Usage

var AllDataPeerClient = require('alldata-peer-client-http');
var AllDataKeygen = require('alldata-keygen');
 
var allDataPeerClient = new AllDataPeerClient({
    method: "POST",
    path: "/_put",
    port: 80 
});
 
var event1 = {customer: 1, action: "site visit"};
var key1 = AllDataKeygen.createKey();
 
allDataPeerClient._put({hostname: "first.peer.com"}, key1, event1, function (error) {
    if (error) {
        console.log("Saving event1 failed on first peer: " + error.message);
    } else {
        console.log("Saving event1 succeeded on first peer.");
    }
});
 
allDataPeerClient._put({hostname: "second.peer.com"}, key1, event1, function (error) {
    if (error) {
        console.log("Saving event1 failed on second peer: " + error.message);
    } else {
        console.log("Saving event1 succeeded on second peer.");
    }
