## Installation
### npm
```sh
> npm i peer-info
```
### Node.JS, Browserify, Webpack
```js
const PeerInfo = require('peer-info')
```
### Browser: `<script>` Tag
Loading this module through a script tag will make the `PeerInfo` obj available in the global namespace.
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/peer-info/dist/index.min.js">
```
## Usage
```js
const PeerInfo = require('peer-info')
const peer = new PeerInfo()
// TCP port 5001
peer.multiaddrs.add('/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/5001')
// UDP port 8001
peer.multiaddrs.add('/ip4/1.2.3.4/udp/8001')
// mic/speaker soundwaves using frequencies 697 and 1209
peer.multiaddrs.add('/sonic/bfsk/697/1209')
```
## API
```js
const PeerInfo = require('peer-info')
```
### `PeerInfo.create([id])`
- `id` optional - can be a PeerId or a JSON object(will be parsed with https://github.com/libp2p/js-peer-id#createfromjsonobj)
Creates a new PeerInfo instance and if no `id` is passed it
generates a new underlying [PeerID](https://github.com/libp2p/js-peer-id)
for it.
Returns `Promise`.
### `new PeerInfo(id)`
- `id: PeerId` - instance of PeerId (optional)
Creates a new PeerInfo instance from an existing PeerId.
### `.id`
The [PeerId](https://github.com/libp2p/js-peer-id) of the peer this info relates to.
### `protocols`
A list of protocols that `peer` supports.
### `.protocols.add(protocol)`
Adds a protocol that `peer` can support. `protocol` is a string.
### `.protocols.delete(protocol)`
Removes a protocol that `peer` no longer supports. `protocol` is a string.
### `.multiaddrs`
A list of multiaddresses instances that `peer` can be reached at.
### `.multiaddrs.add(addr)`
- `addr: Multiaddr`
Adds a new multiaddress that `peer` can be reached at. `addr` is an instance of
a [multiaddr](https://github.com/multiformats/js-multiaddr).
### `.multiaddrs.addSafe(addr)`
- `addr: Multiaddr`
The `addSafe` call, in comparison to `add`, will only add the multiaddr to
`multiaddrs` if the same multiaddr tries to be added twice.
This is a simple mechanism to prevent `multiaddrs` from becoming bloated with
unusable addresses, which happens when we exchange observed multiaddrs with
peers which will not provide a useful multiaddr to be shared to the rest of the
network (e.g. a multiaddr referring to a peer inside a LAN being shared to the
outside world).
### `.multiaddrs.delete(addr)`
- `addr: Multiaddr`
Removes a multiaddress instance `addr` from `peer`.
### `.multiaddrs.replace(existing, fresh)`
- `existing: Multiaddr`
- `fresh: Multiaddr`
Removes the array of multiaddresses `existing` from `peer`, and adds the array
of multiaddresses `fresh`.
### `.connect(ma)`
Records the given multiaddr, `ma` as the active multiaddr of the peer.
- `ma: Multiaddr`
### `.disconnect()`
Removes the existing connected Multiaddr from tracking.
### `.isConnected()`
Returns `true` if a connected Multiaddr exists, otherwise returns `false`.
