## Overview
|
|
|
|
Pubky-core combines a [censorship resistant public-key based alternative to DNS](https://pkarr.org) with conventional, tried and tested web technologies, to keep users in control of their identities and data, while enabling developers to build software with as much availability as web apps, without the costs of managing a central database.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Public key based authentication.
|
|
- Public key based 3rd party authorization.
|
|
- Key-value store through PUT/GET/DELETE HTTP API + pagination.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
This repository contains a [Homeserver](./pubky-homeserver), and a [Client](./pubky) (both Rust and JS wasm bindings).
|
|
You can a run a local homeserver using `cargo run` with more instructions in the README.
|
|
Check the [Examples](./examples) directory for small feature-focesed examples of how to use the Pubky client.
|
|
|
|
### JavaScript
|
|
If you prefer to use JavaScript in NodeJs/Browser or any runtime with Wasm support, you can either install from npm [`@synonymdev/pubky`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@synonymdev/pubky)
|
|
or build the bindings yourself:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd pubky/pkg
|
|
npm i
|
|
npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Testing
|
|
There are unit tests for the JavaScript bindings in both NodeJs and headless web browser, but first you need to run a local temporary Homeserver
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run testnet
|
|
```
|
|
Then in a different terminal window:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm test
|
|
```
