## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
You'll probably need a babel here and a bundler there. Alternatively, use one of the bundled dist versions:
|
||||
|
||||
- `dist/bundle/`: Babelified and packaged with dependencies, so you can drop it in anywhere you want.
|
||||
- `dist/node/`: Babelified into a CommonJS module, so you can drop it in on any node project.
|
||||
|
||||

## Speed Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
This implementation plays "safe" by using JS-native (or downgradable) libraries for its crypto-related functions to keep compatibilities with the browser. If you do want some more speed, feel free to explore the following:
|
||||
This implementation plays "safe" by using JS-native (or downgradable) libraries for its crypto-related functions to keep compatibilities with the browser. If you do want some more speed, feel free to explore the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* [chloride](https://github.com/dominictarr/chloride), or its underlying [sodium](https://github.com/paixaop/node-sodium) library
|
||||
* [node-sha3](https://github.com/phusion/node-sha3) -- **MAKE SURE** to use [steakknife's fork](https://github.com/steakknife/node-sha3) if [the FIPS 202 upgrade](https://github.com/phusion/node-sha3/pull/25) hasn't been merged (otherwise, you'll run into all kinds of hashing problems)
|
||||
|
||||
## Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
> Crypto-conditions
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you keep using a crypto-conditions implementation that implements the older v1 draft (e.g.
|
||||
[`five-bells-condition@v3.3.1`](https://github.com/interledgerjs/five-bells-condition/releases/tag/v3.3.1)).
|
||||
|
||||
BigchainDB Server 0.10 does not implement the newer version of the spec and **WILL** fail if you try using a newer implementation of crypto-conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
> SHA3
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to use a SHA3 implementation that has been upgraded as per [FIPS 202](http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/fips-202/fips_202_draft.pdf). Otherwise, the hashes you generate **WILL** be invalid in the eyes of the BigchainDB Server.
|
||||
|
||||
> Ed25519
|
||||
|
||||
If you do end up replacing `tweetnacl` with `chloride` (or any other `Ed25519` package), you might want to double check that it gives you a correct public/private (or verifying/signing, if they use
|
||||
that lingo) key pair.
|
||||
|
||||
An example BigchainDB Server-generated key pair (encoded in `base58`):
|
||||
|
||||
- Public: `DjPMHDD9JtgypDKY38mPz9f6owjAMAKhLuN1JfRAat8C`
|
||||
- Private: `7Gf5YRch2hYTyeLxqNLgTY63D9K5QH2UQ7LYFeBGuKvo`
|
||||
|
||||
Your package should be able to take in the decoded version of the **private** key and return you the same **public** key (once you encode that to `base58`).
|
||||
|
||||
## npm Releases
|
||||
|
||||
For a new **patch release**, execute on the machine where you're logged into your npm account:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command is powered by [`release-it`](https://github.com/webpro/release-it) package, defined in the `package.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
That's what the command does without any user interaction:
|
||||
|
||||
1. create release commit by updating version in `package.json`
|
||||
1. create tag for that release commit
|
||||
1. push commit & tag
|
||||
1. create a new release on GitHub, with change log auto-generated from commit messages
|
||||
1. update local dependencies to latest version
|
||||
1. build bundled dist versions
|
||||
1. publish to npm as a new release
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to create a **minor** or **major release**, use these commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run release-minor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run release-major
|
||||
```
