Install

npm

> npm install ipld-dag-cbor

Use in Node.js

const dagCBOR = require('ipld-dag-cbor')

Use in a browser with browserify, webpack or any other bundler

The code published to npm that gets loaded on require is in fact a ES5 transpiled version with the right shims added. This means that you can require it and use with your favourite bundler without having to adjust asset management process.

var dagCBOR = require('ipld-dag-cbor')

Use in a browser Using a script tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make the IpldDagCbor obj available in the global namespace.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/ipld-dag-cbor/dist/index.min.js"></script>
<!-- OR -->
