refactor: remove path and ref from module args also findBin #457
refactor: remove path and ref from module args also findBin #457
Conversation
Since we're not passing modules to `.spawn()` there's no danger of passing module refs over http, so we can remove the `.path` and `.ref` arguments when specifying which `ipfs-http-client` and `ipfs` modules to use, instead setting them up when you configure the daemon factory, either in-proc or as a server in an `.aegir` file. Also removes the `findBin` command magic in favour of being explicit about which binary you want the factory to use. If you need to support env vars like `IPFS_GO_EXEC`, do that when you set up the factory. BREAKING CHANGES: - `.path` and `.ref` args removed from `ipfsModule` and `ipfsHttpModule` - `findBin` function removed
Done as a separate branch because |
given that js-ipfs depends in the target branch how do you want this merged ? |
I would merge the Next do a release from master and I'll PR js-ipfs to use the release version - once that's merged we can delete the |
Ask the repo if it has been initialised, if so, allow the user to skip the `.init()` step and move on to `.start()` Removes the proxy api object in favour of vanilla functions because it was causing errors to be thrown if you even referenced properties that were from a different api state. E.g. with an unitialised repo: ```javascript const ipfs = await IPFS.create({ init: false, start: false }) // no invocation, just referencing the property causes an error to be thrown console.info(ipfs.start) ``` I'd looked at changing the proxy behaviour to return a function that throws if invoked, but at the time the proxy is called you don't know what the calling code is going to do with the return value so it's hard to know if it's accessing a function or a property - the return value is just put on the stack and interacted with so it seemed simpler to just pull it out and define the API up front. A nice future improvement might be to have `.init`, `.start` and `.stop` export functions that update the API - that way after `.stop` has been invoked, it could restore the API from the post-`.init` state, but this can come later. Also upgrades `ipfsd-ctl` to pass refs only during factory creation. Depends on: - [ ] ipfs/js-ipfsd-ctl#457 - [ ] ipfs/js-ipfs-repo#219 - [ ] ipfs-inactive/npm-go-ipfs-dep#40
