Arcana Network Storage SDK

What is Storage SDK?

The Arcana Storage SDK enables you to configure dApp and allow users to store files in a region enabled by the application, share it with other users, revoke access or transfer file ownership to another user.

In the beta release, the storage nodes are operated by Arcana Networks. In the future, the storage subsystem will be fully decentralized, and third party storage nodes can be plugged into the Arcana Network storage subsystem once they meet the Arcana storage QoS criteria.

Simple to Integrate

It is super easy to integrate Arcana's Storage SDK with your dApp. Just install, add a few lines of code, and you are all set:

import { StorageProvider } from '@arcana/storage';
const storage = await StorageProvider.init({ appId, provider });
let did = await storage.upload(file)
await storage.download(did)

See Usage Guide, for details.

Integration testing

In the /integration-tets/test.js file, make sure you are using the correct chain-ID (40405) and gateway URL (https://gateway001-testnet.arcana.network/) while initializing the Arcana Storage SDK instance.

Start running an HTTP server using one of these suggested methods:

+ Eg for python 3
```
python3 -m http.server
```

+ Eg for python
```
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
```
+ One can also use packages like [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server), [browser-sync](https://browsersync.io/)
