Ssb-autoname NPM

ssb-autoname

A Scuttlebot plugin that automatically names the feed based on the HOST env var or sbot's config

Attempts to set the profile name when the sbot is initiated. If environment valriable $HOST is set, it will be used as the name property for an about message, otherwise config.autoname is used as the name. If the ssb identity already has published an about message, nothing happens.

Usage

 const createSbot = require('scuttlebot/index')
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/plugins'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/master'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/gossip'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/replicate'))
   .use(require('ssb-friends'))
   .use(require('ssb-blobs'))
   .use(require('ssb-backlinks'))
   .use(require('ssb-private'))
   .use(require('ssb-about'))
   .use(require('ssb-contacts'))
   .use(require('ssb-query'))
+  .use(require('ssb-autoname'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/invite'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/block'))
   .use(require('scuttlebot/plugins/local'))

Then, make sure the sbot server is started with the environment variable HOST set with a string, or add autoname: "My name" to ~/.ssb/config.
