Enum data_chain::block_identifier::BlockIdentifier

pub enum BlockIdentifier {
    ImmutableData(Digest),
    StructuredData(Digest, SdName),
    Link(LinkDescriptor),
}

Dummy data identifiers for this crate

Variants

ImmutableData(Digest)

hash is also name of data stored locally

StructuredData(Digest, SdName)

hash name (identity + tag) (stored localy as name in data store)

Link(LinkDescriptor)

This array represents this nodes current close roup The array is all nodes xored together This is unique to this node, but known by all nodes connected to it in this group.

Methods

impl BlockIdentifier

pub fn hash(&self) -> Digest

Define a name getter as data identifiers may contain more info that does not change the name (such as with structured data and versions etc.) In this module we do not care about other info and any validation is outwith this area Therefore we will delete before insert etc. based on name alone of the data element

pub fn structured_data_name(&self) -> Option<SdName>

structured data name != hash of the data or block

pub fn is_link(&self) -> bool

Is this a link

pub fn is_block(&self) -> bool

Is this a block
