## Install

### npm

```sh
> npm install ipld-dag-cbor
```

### Use in Node.js

```JavaScript
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.

```JavaScript
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.

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

## Usage

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

const file = {
  name: 'hello.txt',
  size: 11
}

// CBOR encoded Buffer
dagCBOR.util.serialize(file, (err, serialized) => {})


ipld.util.deserialize(serialize, (err, node) => {
  if (err) {
    throw err
  }
  console.log(node)
})
```
