cra-hypercore-8-starter

An ejected create react app hypercore 8 starter used for dweb development and distributed in-browser support. Added the needed babel plugins / aliases to speedup p2p dev. Might add networking as a default too..

How to use

The project uses budo for rapid server prototyping. It can also bundle your project using straight browserify and deploy to dat.

install

run $ yarn # install deps

then, either

Bundle for local dev

run $ yarn bundle

Build & deploy to dat

run $ yarn share

What does this mean for dweb development?

Before, dweb apps needed to live in browsers that supported certain p2p protocols. Now, with a simple proxy server with something like hyperswarm, hypercore 8 comes to the browser, data can now get replicated cross browser sessions with minimal infrastructure.

What changes were made for this to work?

Thanks to this project

1. yarn add babel-plugin-module-resolver -D
2. in babel config, aliased sodium-native for @geut/sodium-native-plus so crypto primitives are supported
3. transpile 🍾🍾🍾
