Install

npm install orbit-db ipfs

Usage

First, create an instance of OrbitDB:

import * as IPFS from 'ipfs'
import OrbitDB from 'orbit-db'

const ipfs = new IPFS()
const orbitdb = await OrbitDB.createInstance(ipfs)

Get a key-value database and add an entry to it:

const kv = await orbitdb.kvstore('settings')
kv.put('volume', '100')
  .then(() => {
    console.log(kv.get('volume'))
    // 100
  })

Later, when the database contains data, load the history and query when ready:

const kv = await orbitdb.kvstore('settings')
kv.events.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(kv.get('volume'))
  // 100
})
