Types

type Block

type Block interface {
	Multihash() mh.Multihash
	Data() []byte
	Key() key.Key
	String() string
	Loggable() map[string]interface{}
}

type RawBlock

type RawBlock struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Block is a singular block of data in ipfs

func NewBlock

func NewBlock(data []byte) *RawBlock

NewBlock creates a Block object from opaque data. It will hash the data.

func NewBlockWithHash

func NewBlockWithHash(data []byte, h mh.Multihash) (*RawBlock, error)

NewBlockWithHash creates a new block when the hash of the data is already known, this is used to save time in situations where we are able to be confident that the data is correct

func (*RawBlock) Data

func (b *RawBlock) Data() []byte

func (*RawBlock) Key

func (b *RawBlock) Key() key.Key

Key returns the block's Multihash as a Key value.

func (*RawBlock) Loggable

func (b *RawBlock) Loggable() map[string]interface{}

func (*RawBlock) Multihash

func (b *RawBlock) Multihash() mh.Multihash

func (*RawBlock) String

func (b *RawBlock) String() string
