# computes-ipfs NPM Module

NPM module for connecting [Computes.io](http://computes.io) kernels to the Computes cores via IPFS.

Simple demonstration of submitting 3 javascript requests to IPFS cores.

```javascript
const computes = require('computes-ipfs')
var operation = "(function(data) { var result = data; return result; })";

// Set options
var options = {
  domain: "0381de45-609c-682e-7258-4e79ed738f00"
};

// Connect kernel to computes
var job = computes.connect(options.domain);

job.on("ready", function (){
  console.log("connected to ipfs...");

  // Submit operations
  for(var data = 0; data < 3; data++) {
    job.compute(operation, data, options);
  }

});

var jobCount = 0
// Fired as cores return results
job.on("result", function (result){
  console.log(result);
  jobCount++;
  if (jobCount == 3){
    job.disconnect();
  }
});
```

Notes:

1. Options are optional
2. Operation can also be a URL such as a raw gist i.e. [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/computes/df86808c4a9d0a0d489a/raw/11c92b86662a4df5b5db585a1442796333bd1934/test.js](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/computes/df86808c4a9d0a0d489a/raw/11c92b86662a4df5b5db585a1442796333bd1934/test.js)
