npm install orbit-db ipfs

Usage

First, create an instance of OrbitDB:

const IPFS = require('ipfs')
const OrbitDB = require('orbit-db')

const ipfs = new IPFS()
const orbitdb = new OrbitDB(ipfs)

Get a log database and add an entry to it:

const log = orbitdb.eventlog('haad.posts')
log.add({ name: 'hello world' })
  .then(() => {
    const items = log.iterator().collect()
    items.forEach((e) => console.log(e.name))
    // "hello world"
  })

Later, when the database contains data, load the history and query when ready:

const log = orbitdb.eventlog('haad.posts')
log.events.on('ready', () => {
  const items = log.iterator().collect()
  items.forEach((e) => console.log(e.name))
  // "hello world"
})

See example/index.html for a detailed example. Note that to run this example, you need to have a local IPFS daemon running at port 5001.
