package cid

import "github.com/ipfs/go-cid"

Package cid implements the Content-IDentifiers specification (https://github.com/ipld/cid) in Go. CIDs are self-describing content-addressed identifiers useful for distributed information systems. CIDs are used in the IPFS (https://ipfs.io) project ecosystem.

CIDs have two major versions. A CIDv0 corresponds to a multihash of type DagProtobuf, is deprecated and exists for compatibility reasons. Usually, CIDv1 should be used.

A CIDv1 has four parts: 

<cidv1> ::= <multibase-prefix><cid-version><multicodec-packed-content-type><multihash-content-address>

As shown above, the CID implementation relies heavily on Multiformats, particularly Multibase (https://github.com/multiformats/go-multibase), Multicodec (https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec) and Multihash implementations (https://github.com/multiformats/go-multihash).

Codecs maps the name of a codec to its type

❖
var Undef = Cid{}

Undef can be used to represent a nil or undefined Cid, using Cid{} directly is also acceptable.

func ExtractEncoding Uses

❖
func ExtractEncoding(v string) (mbase.Encoding, error)

Extract the encoding from a Cid. If Decode on the same string did not return an error neither will this function.

type Builder Uses

❖
type Builder interface {
    Sum(data []byte) (Cid, error)
    GetCodec() uint64
    WithCodec(uint64) Builder
}

type Cid Uses

❖
type Cid struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Cid represents a self-describing content addressed identifier. It is formed by a Version, a Codec (which indicates a multicodec-packed content type) and a Multihash.

func Cast Uses

❖
func Cast(data []byte) (Cid, error)

Cast takes a Cid data slice, parses it and returns a Cid. For CidV1, the data buffer is in the form: 

<version><codec-type><multihash>

CidV0 are also supported. In particular, data buffers starting with length 34 bytes, which starts with bytes [18,32...] are considered binary multihashes.

Please use decode when parsing a regular Cid string, as Cast does not expect multibase-encoded data. Cast accepts the output of Cid.Bytes().

func CidFromBytes Uses

❖
func CidFromBytes(data []byte) (int, Cid, error)

func Decode Uses

❖
func Decode(v string) (Cid, error)

Decode parses a Cid-encoded string and returns a Cid object. For CidV1, a Cid-encoded string is primarily a multibase string: 

<multibase-type-code><base-encoded-string>

The base-encoded string represents a:

<version><codec-type><multihash>

Decode will also detect and parse CidV0 strings. Strings starting with "Qm" are considered CidV0 and treated directly as B58-encoded multihashes.

Example

Code: 

encoded := "bafkreie5qrjvaw64n4tjm6hbnm7fnqvcssfed4whsjqxzslbd3jwhsk3mm"
c, err := Decode(encoded)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Error: %s", err)
    return
}

fmt.Println(c)

Output:

bafkreie5qrjvaw64n4tjm6hbnm7fnqvcssfed4whsjqxzslbd3jwhsk3mm

func NewCidV0 Uses

❖
func NewCidV0(mhash mh.Multihash) Cid
