ssb-suggest-lite

An SSB secret-stack plugin for fetching profiles of authors that match a name

This is a lighter and simpler variant of ssb-suggest built with ssb-db2. The differences with ssb-suggest are:

• Supports only ssb-db2
• Can only answer queries about peers you follow and defaultIds (does not load the cache with "recent authors" nor "recent abouts")
• Does not contain the field following in the results

Install

npm install ssb-suggest-lite

Usage

• Requires Node.js 6.5 or higher
• Requires secret-stack@^6.2.0
• Requires ssb-db2 and the aboutSelf plugin
• Requires ssb-friends@>=4.4.4

 SecretStack({appKey: require('ssb-caps').shs})
   .use(require('ssb-master'))
+  .use(require('ssb-db2'))
+  .use(require('ssb-db2/about-self'))
+  .use(require('ssb-friends'))
   .use(require('ssb-conn'))
   .use(require('ssb-blobs'))
+  .use(require('ssb-suggest-lite'))
   .call(null, config)

API

ssb.suggest.profile works the same as with ssb-suggest, the only difference is that the results don't contain the field following nor the field matchedName.
