dat-manager

Manages all of your dats on a single machine.

API

var manager = Manager(opts)

Options

• location: the location on the local filesystem to store the data. defaults to path.resolve('dats')
• db: the levelup database instance for the manager.
• datdb: the levelup database instance for dat.
• start: default to true

Manager.share(key, location, cb)

Will create a dat link and share the given local filesystem location. It also joins the dat swarm and begins sharing it.

Calls the callback with cb(err, dat)

Manager.start(key, opts, cb)

Starts sharing a dat with the given key. If the dat doesn't exist with that key, it creates a new one and begins downloading it.

• location: the location to store the data.

Manager.stop(key, cb)

Stops sharing the dat on the swarm.

Manager.get(cb)
