hyperdrive-binary-search v0.0.1

hyperdrive binary search

Find files by name in a hyperdrive, using binary search.

This implementation has no dependencies, and is a tiny port of the binary-search package to work with hyperdrive archives.

Usage

var hypersearch = require('hyperdrive-binary-search')


hypersearch(archive, 'myfile.txt', (err, entry) => {
  if (err) raise err
  console.log(entry)
})

The second argument to the callback (here called entry) is a hyperdrive metadata entry, e.g.:

{
  "type": "file",
  "name": "myfile.txt",
  "mode": 33188,
  "size": 5028864,
  "uid": 0,
  "gid": 0,
  "mtime": 0,
  "ctime": 0
}

you can download the corresponding file from the archive, e.g:

hypersearch(archive, 'myfile.txt', (err, entry) => {
  if (err) raise err
  var progress = archive.download(entry)
})
