zeronet v0.0.1-alpha18

ZeroNet JS

A JS version of ZeroNet, using libp2p.

About

This project was mainly created to see how the zeronet protocol can be improved and to provide better programmaticall usage of zeronet.

But it will also be compatible with zeronet-py (and will have an uiserver).

CLI Usage

Todos/Notes have been moved to the Roadmap

Running

Just run npm start and it should:

• Launch a server on 0.0.0.0:15543
• Launch a uiserver on 127.0.0.1:15544
• Make itself visible in the mdns

This module uses pull-streams

We expose a streaming interface based on pull-streams, rather then on the Node.js core streams implementation (aka Node.js streams). pull-streams offers us a better mechanism for error handling and flow control guarantees.

You can learn more about pull-streams at:

• The history of Node.js streams, nodebp April 2014
• The history of streams, 2016
• pull-streams, the simple streaming primitive
• pull-streams documentation

Converting pull-streams to Node.js Streams

If you are a Node.js streams user, you can convert a pull-stream to a Node.js stream using the module pull-stream-to-stream, giving you an instance of a Node.js stream that is linked to the pull-stream. For example:

const pullToStream = require('pull-stream-to-stream')

const nodeStreamInstance = pullToStream(pullStreamInstance)
// nodeStreamInstance is an instance of a Node.js Stream

ZeroNetJS is developed independently from ZeroNet
