dat-secret-storage

Store secret keys for hyperdrive archives in the user's home directory.

Install

npm install dat-secret-storage

Usage

Return for the secret_key storage in hyperdrive/hypercore. To avoid local ownership conflicts, pass the local directory as the first argument. dat-secret-storage will check for a non-empty ownership file in the source directory storage.

var secretStore = require('dat-secret-storage')

var storage = {
  metadata: function (name, opts) {
    if (name === 'secret_key') return secretStore()(path.join(dir, '.dat/metadata.ogd'), opts)
    return // other storage
  },
  content: function (name, opts) {
    return // other storage
  }
}

// store secret key in ~/.dat/secret_keys
var archive = hyperdrive(storage)

API

secretStorage([dir])(ownershipFile, opts)

• dir: directory to store keys under dir/.dat/secret_keys. Defaults to users home directory.
• ownershipFile: non-empty file that denotes ownership. This helps avoid local ownership conflicts of the same dat.
