JavaScript implementation of multiaddr.
A standard way to represent addresses that
- support any standard network protocol
- are self-describing
- have a binary packed format
- have a nice string representation
- encapsulate well
npm i multiaddrconst multiaddr = require('multiaddr')The code published to npm that gets loaded on require is in fact a ES5 transpiled version with the right shims added. This means that you can require it and use with your favourite bundler without having to adjust asset management process.
const multiaddr = require('multiaddr')Loading this module through a script tag will make the Multiaddr obj available in
the global namespace.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/multiaddr/dist/index.min.js"></script>
<!-- OR -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/multiaddr/dist/index.js"></script>NOTE: You will need access to the Node.js Buffer API. If you are running
in the browser, you can access it with multiaddr.Buffer or you can install
feross/buffer.
$ node

> const addr = multiaddr("/ip4/127.0.0.1/udp/1234")

<Buffer 04 7f 00 00 01 11 04 d2>
