UserSpace

Warning: This project is under active development, APIs are subject to change.

This is a library which allows you to set, get, and remove data associated with an ethereum account. It can be used to store identity data, user settings, etc. by dapps that use a web3 enabled browser. The data will be retrievable as long as the user has access to the private key for the used ethereum account. Data is backed up using an identity hub.

Take a look at the demo to get a feeling of how it works!

Usage

Simply install using npm

$ npm install userspace

and then import into your project

const UserSpace = require('userspace')
 
UserSpace.open(web3.eth.accounts[0]).then(userspace => {
  // Code goes here...
})
