Install

npm install mimostore

Usage

First, create an instance of OrbitDB and Web3:

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

const ipfs = new IPFS()

// add MimoStore to orbitdb
OrbitDB.addDatabaseType(MimoStore.type, MimoStore)

// instantiate MimoStore
const orbitdb = new OrbitDB(ipfs)
const mimostore = orbitdb.create('mimo', MimoStore.type, {
  write: ['*']
})

Add a claim to it, if the signature of the data is a valid one then the data will be added successfully:

await store.put({ id: '0x_id', bio: 'I <3 Mimo' }, '<signature>')

Later, when the database contains data, query whenever:

await store.get('0x_id')
