web3.bzz¶
注解
This API might change over time.
The web3-bzz package allows you to interact swarm the decentralized file store.
For more see the Swarm Docs.
var Bzz = require('web3-bzz');
// will autodetect if the "ethereum" object is present and will either connect to the local swarm node, or the swarm-gateways.net.
// Optional you can give your own provider URL; If no provider URL is given it will use "http://swarm-gateways.net"
var bzz = new Bzz(Bzz.givenProvider || 'http://swarm-gateways.net');
// or using the web3 umbrella package
var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 = new Web3(Web3.givenProvider || 'ws://some.local-or-remote.node:8546');
// -> web3.bzz.currentProvider // if Web3.givenProvider was an ethereum provider it will set: "http://localhost:8500" otherwise it will set: "http://swarm-gateways.net"
// set the provider manually if necessary
web3.bzz.setProvider("http://localhost:8500");
setProvider¶
web3.bzz.setProvider(myProvider)
Will change the provider for its module.
注解
When called on the umbrella package web3 it will also set the provider for all sub modules web3.eth, web3.shh, etc EXCEPT web3.bzz which needs a separate provider at all times.
Parameters¶
Object-myProvider: a valid provider.
Returns¶
Boolean
Example¶
var Bzz = require('web3-bzz');
var bzz = new Bzz('http://localhost:8500');
// change provider
bzz.setProvider('http://swarm-gateways.net');
givenProvider¶
web3.bzz.givenProvider
When using web3.js in an Ethereum compatible browser, it will set with the current native provider by that browser.
Will return the given provider by the (browser) environment, otherwise null.
Returns¶
Object: The given provider set or null;
Example¶
bzz.givenProvider;
> {
send: function(),
on: function(),
bzz: "http://localhost:8500",
shh: true,
...
}
bzz.setProvider(bzz.givenProvider || "http://swarm-gateways.net");
currentProvider¶
bzz.currentProvider
Will return the current provider URL, otherwise null.
Returns¶
Object: The current provider URL or null;
Example¶
bzz.currentProvider;
> "http://localhost:8500"
if(!bzz.currentProvider) {
bzz.setProvider("http://swarm-gateways.net");
}

.catch(console.log);
// upload from disk in the browser
bzz.upload({pick: "file"}) // could also be "directory" or "data"

Downloads files and folders from swarm, as buffer or to disk (only node.js).

If thelocalpathis given, it will return that path where it downloaded the files to.localpath-String: The local folder to download the content into. (only node.js)
Returns¶
Promise returning Buffer|Object|String: The Buffer of the file downloaded, an object with the directory structure, or the path where it was downloaded to.
Example¶
var bzz = web3.bzz;
// download raw file
var fileHash = "a5c10851ef054c268a2438f10a21f6efe3dc3dcdcc2ea0e6a1a7a38bf8c91e23";
bzz.download(fileHash).then(function(buffer) {
console.log("Downloaded file:", buffer.toString());
});
// download directory, if the hash is manifest file.
var dirHash = "7e980476df218c05ecfcb0a2ca73597193a34c5a9d6da84d54e295ecd8e0c641";
bzz.download(dirHash).then(function(dir) {
console.log("Downloaded directory:");
> {
'bar.txt': { type: 'text/plain', data: <Buffer 61 6e 6f 74 68 65 72 20 66 69 6c 65> },
'foo.txt': { type: 'text/plain', data: <Buffer 73 61 6d 70 6c 65 20 66 69 6c 65> }
}
});
// download file/directory to disk (only node.js)
