Description
Generate, import, and export PeerIDs, for use with IPFS.
A Peer ID is the SHA-256 multihash of a public key.
The public key is a base64 encoded string of a protobuf containing an RSA DER buffer. This uses a node buffer to pass the base64 encoded public key protobuf to the multihash for ID generation.
Example
import { createEd25519PeerId } from 'libp2p-peer-id-factory'
const peerId = await createEd25519PeerId()
console.log(id.toString())
