go-car-example

Example code for interating with:

• go-car - .car content archive format used by Filecoin
• go-datastore - implementing a standard key/value storage API based on this Python thing
• go-ds-flatfs - implementing a filesystem-based datastore
• go-ds-leveldb - implementing a LevelDB-based datastore
• go-ipfs-blockstore - wrapping a go-datastore in a slightly nicer interface for IPLD blocks
• go-cbor - for interacting directly with IPLD CBOR blocks
• go-ipld-prime - the new hotness for interacting with IPLD blocks

go run example.go

You get:

• A .car file: example.car
• Stdout showing the header (root CIDs) of a .car file that's generated from example data
• Stdout showing decoding of the blocks in the .car file
• A Datastore (flatfs) that was used as the source for creating the .car file: datastore.in
• A Datastore (flatfs) that was used as the destination for dumping the .car file: datastore.out
