# torrent-blob-store

BitTorrent backed streaming [blob store](https://github.com/maxogden/abstract-blob-store), both read and write supported.

```

npm install torrent-blob-store

```

[![blob-store-compatible](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxogden/abstract-blob-store/master/badge.png)](https://github.com/maxogden/abstract-blob-store)

## Usage

``` js

var torrents = require('torrent-blob-store')

var store = torrents()

// create a read stream to some star trek fan fiction

var rs = store.createReadStream({

  link: 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef330b39f4801d25b4245212e75a38634bfc856e',

  index: 1 // get the file at index 1

})

rs.on('data', function(data) {

  console.log('received:', data) // data received from peers

})

rs.on('end', function() {

  console.log('(no more data)')

})

```

You can pass in the same options in the blob store constructor as in [torrent-stream](https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream).

All read streams needs `link` to be set. Currently only magnet links are supported

## Write

Torrent-blob store also lets you createWriteStream and provides you with a magnet link.

```js

var Tracker = require('bittorrent-tracker').Server

var blob = require('torrent-blob-store')

var server = new Tracker({ http: true })

var concat = require('concat-stream')

server.listen(0, '127.0.0.1', function () {

  var store = blob({

    trackers: [

      'http://localhost:' + server.http.address().port,

      'udp://localhost:' + server.udp.address().port

    ]

  })

  var w = store.createWriteStream(function (err, res) {

    console.log(res.link) // will print out the magnet link

    store.createReadStream(res.link).pipe(concat(function (body) {

      console.log(body.toString()) // will print 'whatever'

    }))

  })

  w.end('whatever')

})

```
