Usage in ssb-db2

YOU MOST LIKELY DON'T NEED TO DO THIS, because ssb-db2 bundles ssb-classic already. But maybe one day ssb-db2 won't bundle it anymore, and then you would have to do this.

• Requires Node.js 12 or higher
• Requires secret-stack@^6.2.0
• Requires ssb-db2@>=5.0.0

 SecretStack({appKey: require('ssb-caps').shs})
   .use(require('ssb-master'))
+  .use(require('ssb-db2'))
+  .use(require('ssb-classic'))
   .use(require('ssb-conn'))
   .use(require('ssb-blobs'))
   .call(null, config)

Usage as a standalone

const ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys');
const classicFormat = require('ssb-classic');

const msgVal = classicFormat.newNativeMsg({
  keys: ssbKeys.generate(),
  content: {
    type: 'post',
    text: 'Hello, world!',
  },
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  previous: null,
  hmacKey: null,
});
