API

Definitions() => Object

The definitions is a getter (function) so that you can pull it and mutate it awithout getting into trouble.

To see what definitions are available check out index.js.

You can also see examples of how to use most of the definitions in the tests/ folder. At time of writing there's good test coverage here for fields:

• contentWarning
• image
• mentions
• tangle
• tombstone
• recps (box1, box2/ envelope)
