QuDAG NPM Package

🌐 Quantum-Resistant Distributed Communication Platform

QuDAG is a revolutionary quantum-resistant distributed communication platform built on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture. This NPM package provides easy access to the QuDAG CLI through Node.js and NPX.

🚀 Quick Start

Using NPX (Recommended)

No installation required! Just run:

npx qudag@latest --help

Global Installation

Install globally for direct CLI access:

npm install -g qudag
qudag --help

Project Installation

Add to your project as a dependency:

npm install qudag

📋 Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 16.0.0
• Supported platforms:
  • Linux (x64, arm64)
  • macOS (x64, arm64)
  • Windows (x64)

🛠️ CLI Usage

Start a QuDAG Node

# Using npx
npx qudag@latest start --port 8000

# If installed globally
qudag start --port 8000

Dark Address Management

# Register a .dark domain
npx qudag@latest address register mynode.dark

# Resolve a dark address
npx qudag@latest address resolve mynode.dark

# Generate a temporary shadow address
npx qudag@latest address shadow --ttl 3600

# Create a quantum fingerprint
npx qudag@latest address fingerprint --data "Hello QuDAG!"

Peer Management

# List connected peers
npx qudag@latest peer list

# Add a new peer
npx qudag@latest peer add /ip4/192.168.1.100/tcp/8000

# Remove a peer
npx qudag@latest peer remove 12D3KooWExample...

Node Operations

# Check node status
npx qudag@latest status

# View network statistics
npx qudag@latest network stats

# Stop the node
npx qudag@latest stop

💻 Programmatic Usage

JavaScript/TypeScript API

const { QuDAG } = require('qudag');
// or
import { QuDAG } from 'qudag';

// Start a node
const startResult = await QuDAG.start(8000);
console.log('Node started:', startResult.stdout);

// Get node status
const status = await QuDAG.status();
console.log('Status:', status.stdout);

// Register a dark address
const register = await QuDAG.registerAddress('myapp.dark');
console.log('Registered:', register.stdout);

// List peers
const peers = await QuDAG.listPeers();
console.log('Peers:', peers.stdout);

// Execute raw commands
const result = await QuDAG.raw(['--version']);
console.log('Version:', result.stdout);

Advanced Usage

const { execute, getPlatformInfo, isInstalled } = require('qudag');

// Check if binary is installed
if (!isInstalled()) {
  console.log('QuDAG binary not installed');
}

// Get platform information
const info = getPlatformInfo();
console.log('Platform:', info.platform);
console.log('Architecture:', info.arch);
console.log('Binary path:', info.binaryPath);

// Execute custom commands with options
const result = await execute(['peer', 'list', '--format', 'json'], {
  env: { ...process.env, RUST_LOG: 'debug' }
});

const peers = JSON.parse(result.stdout);
console.log(`Connected to ${peers.length} peers`);

🏗️ Architecture

This NPM package acts as a wrapper around the native QuDAG binary, providing:

• Automatic Binary Management: Downloads the correct binary for your platform
• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• TypeScript Support: Full type definitions included
• Programmatic API: Use QuDAG from your Node.js applications
• NPX Support: Run without installation using npx qudag@latest

🔧 Troubleshooting

Binary Download Issues

If the binary fails to download during installation:

1. Check your internet connection
2. Verify your platform is supported
3. Check if a proxy is blocking GitHub access
4. Try manual installation:

# The binary will be downloaded on first use
npx qudag@latest --help

Permission Issues on Linux/macOS

If you get permission errors:

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x $(npm root -g)/qudag/bin/platform/qudag

Platform Not Supported

If your platform is not supported, you can build from source:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/QuDAG
cd QuDAG

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Copy the binary to the npm package
cp target/release/qudag node_modules/qudag/bin/platform/
