Background

The provider system is responsible for announcing and reannouncing to the ipfs network that a node has content.

Install

Via go get:

$ go get github.com/fgeth/fg-ipfs-provider

Requires Go 1.12

Usage

Here's how you create, start, interact with, and stop the provider system:

import (
	"context"
	"time"

	"github.com/fgeth/fg-ipfs-provider"
	"github.com/fgeth/fg-ipfs-provider/queue"
	"github.com/fgeth/fg-ipfs-provider/simple"
)

rsys := (your routing system here)
dstore := (your datastore here)
cid := (your cid to provide here)

q := queue.NewQueue(context.Background(), "example", dstore)

reprov := simple.NewReprovider(context.Background(), time.Hour * 12, rsys, simple.NewBlockstoreProvider(dstore))
prov := simple.NewProvider(context.Background(), q, rsys)
sys := provider.NewSystem(prov, reprov)

sys.Run()

sys.Provide(cid)

sys.Close()

Types

type Provider

type Provider interface {
	// Run is used to begin processing the provider work
	Run()
	// Provide takes a cid and makes an attempt to announce it to the network
	Provide(cid.Cid) error
	// Close stops the provider
	Close() error
}

Provider announces blocks to the network

type Reprovider

type Reprovider interface {
	// Run is used to begin processing the reprovider work and waiting for reprovide triggers
	Run()
	// Trigger a reprovide
	Trigger(context.Context) error
	// Close stops the reprovider
	Close() error
}

Reprovider reannounces blocks to the network

type System

type System interface {
	Run()
	Close() error
	Provide(cid.Cid) error
	Reprovide(context.Context) error
}

System defines the interface for interacting with the value provider system

func NewOfflineProvider

func NewOfflineProvider() System

NewOfflineProvider creates a ProviderSystem that does nothing

func NewSystem

func NewSystem(provider Provider, reprovider Reprovider) System

NewSystem constructs a new provider system from a provider and reprovider
