## 1.0 Architecture Design
![dat-arch.001.jpg](dat-arch.001.jpg)
* dat: command-line
* dat-desk: desktop application
* dat-server: http and ui frontend
* dat-js: JS api
* hyperdrive: storage layer
* discovery-swarm: swarm
## dat-js
A common JavaScript API for Dat.
```
var Dat = require('dat-js')
```
#### `var dat = Dat(opts, cb)`
Options
* `db`: leveldb instance for underlying hyperdrive
* `DISCOVERY_SERVER`: the discovery server to use. (default 'discovery1.publicbits.org')
* `DAT_DOMAIN`: the domain to use (default 'dat.local')
#### `dat.link(dir, cb)`
Create a dat link for the given directory. Does not start sharing the dat. Must use `dat.join` to begin serving the link to the swarm.
```js
var linker = dat.link(dir)
var done = function (err, link) {
if (err) throw err
console.log('Done linking!', link)
}
var dir = '/Users/karissa/data/mydata'
var linker = dat.link(dir, done)
linker.on('progress', function (progress) {
console.log('progress item', progress)
})
```
#### `dat.download(link, dir, cb)`
Download the given link to a given location. Get progress events from the stream. Progress events are the same as emitted by the `dat` object.
```js
var done = function (err) {
if (err) throw err
console.log('Done downloading!')
}
var link = 'dat://8a82dae10ee8384'
var dir = '/Users/karissa/data/mydata'
var downloader = dat.download(link, dir, done)
downloader.on('progress', function (progress) {
console.log('progress item', progress)
})
```
#### `dat.join(link, cb)`
Join a swarm for the given link. Should be called after `link` or `download`. Throws error if data has not been downloaded or linked.
#### `dat.leave(link, cb)`
Leave the swarm for the given link.
#### `dat.on('progress', cb)`
Get all progress events from uploading and downloading data.
```js
dat.on('progress', function (progress) {
console.log(progress)
})
```
## dat
Command-line interface for dat
#### `dat link DIR`
Create a new link for the contents of a directory and begin automatically serving the data to a swarm in the background.
* `--foreground`: run the server in the foreground instead.
#### `dat download LINK DIR`
Download a link to a directory and begin automatically serving the data to a swarm in the background.
* `--foreground`: run the server in the foreground instead.
#### `dat join LINK`
Starts serving the given link in a background progress. Must have already performed `link` or `download`.
* `--foreground`: run the server in the foreground instead.
#### `dat leave LINK`
Stops serving the given link to the discovery swarm. Must have already performed `link` or `download`.
#### `dat ls`
View a static list of the current dat links that are served.
#### `dat mon`
Opens up real-time monitoring panel for viewing progress of running dats. Can provide optional parameter `dat mon LINK` to filter the monitor and logs for a given dat link.
