@web4/testnet

Small module to help you spin up a local Bitswarm testnet.

npm install @web4/testnet

Use this if you want to use the swarm in tests, etc.

Usage

const createTestnet = require('@web4/testnet')

const nodes = await createTestnet(10) // create a local testnet with 10 dht nodes
const bootstrap = [{ host: '127.0.0.1', port: nodes[0].address().port }] // the bootstrap address for this testnet

API

const nodes = await createTestnet(size = 10, [options])

Create a new testnet. size is how many DHT nodes you want in it. Options include:

{
  port: preferredLocalPort, // defaults to ANY (0)
  host: preferredLocalHost, // defaults to 127.0.0.1
  teardown // optional async teardown helper ie, t.teardown in brittle/tap etc
