Implementations

impl Client

pub async fn read_bytes(&self, address: BytesAddress) -> Result<Bytes>

Reads Bytes from the network, whose contents are contained within on or more chunks.

pub async fn read_from(
    &self,
    address: BytesAddress,
    position: usize,
    length: usize
) -> Result<Bytes> where
    Self: Sized, 

Read bytes from the network. The contents are spread across multiple chunks in the network. This function invokes the self-encryptor and returns the data that was initially stored.

Takes position and len arguments which specify the start position and the length of bytes to be read. Passing 0 to position reads the data from the beginning.

Examples

TODO: update once data types are crdt compliant

pub fn chunk_bytes(
    &self,
    bytes: Bytes,
    scope: Scope
) -> Result<(BytesAddress, Vec<Chunk>)>

Tries to chunk the bytes, returning an address and chunks, without storing anything to network.

pub async fn upload(&self, bytes: Bytes, scope: Scope) -> Result<BytesAddress>

Directly writes Bytes to the network in the form of immutable chunks, without any batching.

pub fn calculate_address(bytes: Bytes, scope: Scope) -> Result<BytesAddress>

Calculates a Blob’s/Spot’s address from self encrypted chunks, without storing them onto the network.

impl Client

pub async fn send_signed_command(
    &self,
    dst_address: XorName,
    client_pk: PublicKey,
    serialised_cmd: Bytes,
    signature: Signature,
    targets: usize
) -> Result<(), Error>

Send a signed DataCmd to the network. This is to be part of a public API, for the user to provide the serialised and already signed command.

impl Client

pub async fn store_private_register(
    &self,
    name: XorName,
    tag: u64,
    owner: PublicKey,
    permissions: BTreeMap<PublicKey, PrivatePermissions>
) -> Result<Address, Error>

Create a Private Register onto the Network

Creates a private Register on the network which can then be written to. Private data can be removed from the network at a later date.

A tag must be supplied. A xorname must be supplied, this can be random or deterministic as per your apps needs.

pub async fn store_public_register(
    &self,
    name: XorName,
    tag: u64,
    owner: PublicKey,
    permissions: BTreeMap<User, PublicPermissions>
) -> Result<Address, Error>

Create a Public Register onto the Network

Creates a public Register on the network which can then be written to. Public data can not be removed from the network at a later date.

A tag must be supplied. A xorname must be supplied, this can be random or deterministic as per your apps needs.

pub async fn delete_register(&self, address: Address) -> Result<(), Error>

Delete Register

You’re only able to delete a PrivateRegister. Public data can no be removed from the network.

pub async fn write_to_register(
    &self,
    address: Address,
    entry: Entry,
    children: BTreeSet<EntryHash>
) -> Result<EntryHash, Error>

Write to Register

Public or private isn’t important for writing, though the data you write will be Public or Private according to the type of the targeted Register.

pub async fn get_register(&self, address: Address) -> Result<Register, Error>

Get a Register from the Network

pub async fn read_register(
    &self,
    address: Address
) -> Result<BTreeSet<(EntryHash, Entry)>, Error>

Get the last data entry from a Register data.

pub async fn get_register_entry(
    &self,
    address: Address,
    hash: EntryHash
) -> Result<Entry, Error>

Get an entry from a Register on the Network by its hash

pub async fn get_register_owner(
    &self,
    address: Address
) -> Result<PublicKey, Error>

Get the owner of a Register.

pub async fn get_register_permissions_for_user(
    &self,
    address: Address,
    user: PublicKey
) -> Result<Permissions, Error>

Get the set of Permissions in a Register for a specific user.

pub async fn get_register_policy(
    &self,
    address: Address
) -> Result<Policy, Error>

Get the Policy of a Register.

impl Client

Easily manage connections to/from The Safe Network with the client and its APIs. Use a random client for read-only or one-time operations. Supply an existing, SecretKey which holds a SafeCoin balance to be able to perform write operations.

pub async fn new(
    config: ClientConfig,
    bootstrap_nodes: BTreeSet<SocketAddr>,
    optional_keypair: Option<Keypair>
) -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a Safe Network client instance. Either for an existing SecretKey (in which case) the client will attempt to retrieve the history of the key’s balance in order to be ready for any token operations. Or if no SecreteKey is passed, a random keypair will be used, which provides a client that can only perform Read operations (at least until the client’s SecretKey receives some token).

Examples

TODO: update once data types are crdt compliant

pub fn keypair(&self) -> Keypair

Return the client’s keypair.

Useful for retrieving the PublicKey or KeyPair in the event you need to sign something

Examples

TODO: update once data types are crdt compliant

pub fn public_key(&self) -> PublicKey

Return the client’s PublicKey.

Examples
