dat-glob

Glob implementation for dat archives.

Supports both raw hyperdrive instances and Beaker Browser's DatArchive API. With scoped-fs you can use it on your local file system as well.

Installation

In Beaker or Webrun you can import the module directly in your code:

import glob from 'dat://brecht.pamphlets.me/lib/dat-glob/v1.3.js'

Note that it's advised to always use the dat protocol for this. HTTPS might be fine for testing, but I can't guarantee the required reliability and performance for production usage.

If you need dat-glob in Node.js, you can get it from NPM:

npm install dat-glob

Usage

This package exports two modules. The default require('dat-glob') works with async iteration, whereas require('dat-glob/stream') uses standard Node streams. Both modules include a collect method which returns a list of all matching files.

// Async iteration
var glob = require('dat-glob')

async function main () {
  var dat = await DatArchive.create()

  for await (var file of glob(dat, '**/*.json')) {
    console.log(file) // 'dat.json'
  }

  var files = await glob(dat, '**/*.json').collect()
  console.log(files) // ['dat.json']
}

main()

// Node stream
var hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
var glob = require('dat-glob/stream')

var dat = hyperdrive(key)
var stream = glob(dat, ['*.json', 'subdir/*.json'])

stream.pipe(process.stdout)

stream.collect((err, files) => {
  console.log(files)
})

API

var results = glob(dat, pattern)

dat

Type: object (required)

A DatArchive, hyperdrive, or scoped-fs instance.

pattern

Type: string or Array (required)

A pattern (or list of patterns) to match against the files in the archive.

var results = glob(dat, opts)

dat

See above.

opts.pattern

See above.

opts.base

Type: string

Subdirectory to start searching from.

opts.dir

Type: boolean (default: false)
