dat-registry

API Registry Client for publishing dats. By default, the client is capable of registering, login, and publishing to datbase.org.

dat-registry allows users to interact with and publish dats to your registry via the dat command line. Supporting this module on your registry will allow a user to login and publish:

dat login custom-dat-registry.com
dat publish

Installation

npm install dat-registry

Quick Example

var Registry = require('dat-registry')

var registry = Registry()

registry.login({email: 'karissa', password: 'my passw0rd r0cks!'}, function () {
  registry.dats.create({
    name: 'animal-names',
    url: 'dat://378d23adf22df',
    title: 'Animal Names',
    description: 'I did a study on animals for a very important Nature study, here are the spreadsheets with raw animals in them.'
  }, function (err, resp, json) {
    if (err) throw err
    if (resp.statusCode === 400) console.error(data.message)
    console.log('Published successfully!')
    // Created a nickname for a dat at `https://datbase.org/karissa/animal-names`
  })
})

API

`var registry = Registry([opts])`

opts.server: the registry server. Default is https://datbase.org
opts.apiPath: registery server API path, e.g. we use /api/v1 for datbase.org. This will overwrite default township routes to use server + apiPath.
opts.config.filename: defaults to ~.datrc instead of township defaults.

Other options are passed to township-client, these include:

opts = {
  config: {
    filepath: '~/.townshiprc' // specify a full config file path 
  },
  routes: { // routes for ALL township servers used by client
    register: '/register',
    login: '/login',
    updatePassword: '/updatepassword'
  }
}

`registry.login(data, cb)`

Requires data.email and data.password.

`registry.register(data, cb)`

Requires data.username, data.email, and data.password.

`registry.logout(cb)`

Will callback with logout success or failure.

`var user = registry.whoami([opts])`

Returns user object with currently logged in user. See township-client for options.

CRUD API

`registry.dats.create(data, cb)`

Must be logged in. Requires a unique data.name and unique data.url. Dat will be immediately available on the /:username/:name.

Accepts also any fields in a dat.json file.

`registry.dats.get([data], cb)`
