dWeb DHT Peer Codec

@dwdht/peers

An dWeb compliant encoder for encoding a list of IPV4 peers to buffers.

npm install @dwdht/peers

Usage

var dWebPeersCodec = require('@dwdht/peers')

var dWebPeersBuffer = dWebPeersCodec.encode([{
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 8080
}, {
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 9090
}])

console.log(dWebPeersBuffer) // 12 byte buffer
console.log(dWebPeersCodec.decode(buf)) // the peer list

API

var dWebPeersBuffer = dWebPeersCodec.encode(peerList, [buffer], [offset])

Encode a list of IPV4 peers into a buffer.

var dWebPeersDecoded = dWebPeersCodec.decode(buffer, [offset], [end])

Decode a buffer into a list of peers.

var dWebPeersLen = dWebPeersCodec.encodingLength(peerList)

Returns the amount of bytes needed to encode the peers into a buffer

var dWebPeersIdLen = dWebPeersCodec.idLength(idByteLength)

Create a new @dwdht/peers decoder that encodes/decodes a fixed size peerId in addition to host/port. The peerId is exposed as the .id property on a peer object.
