multiaddr format
A validation checker for multiaddrs. Some basic validators for common address types are provided, but creating your own combinations is easy.
Usage:
a, _ := ma.NewMultiaddr("/ip4/5.2.67.3/tcp/1708")
TCP.Matches(a) // returns true
Making your own validators is easy, for example, the Reliable
multiaddr is
defined as follows:
// Define IP as either ipv4 or ipv6
var IP = Or(Base(ma.P_IP4), Base(ma.P_IP6))
// Define TCP as 'tcp' on top of either ipv4 or ipv6
var TCP = And(IP, Base(ma.P_TCP))
// Define UDP as 'udp' on top of either ipv4 or ipv6
var UDP = And(IP, Base(ma.P_UDP))
// Define UTP as 'utp' on top of udp (on top of ipv4 or ipv6)
var UTP = And(UDP, Base(ma.P_UTP))
// Now define a Reliable transport as either tcp or utp
var Reliable = Or(TCP, UTP)
// From here, we can easily define multiaddrs for protocols that can run on top
// of any 'reliable' transport (such as ipfs)
NOTE: the above patterns are already implemented in package
