## Install

### npm

```sh
> npm install ipld-zcash
```

### Use in Node.js

```JavaScript
const IpldZcash = require('ipld-zcash')
```

### 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 IpldZcash = require('ipld-zcash')
```

### Use in a browser Using a script tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make the `IpldZcash` obj available in the global namespace.

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

## Usage

As this is is an implementation of the [IPLD format spec](https://github.com/ipld/interface-ipld-format), it should be used through the [IPLD resolver](https://github.com/ipld/js-ipld-resolver). See the IPLD format spec for details about the API.

Though it can also be used as a standalone module:

```JavaScript
const IpldZcash = require('ipld-zcash')

// `zcashBlock` is some binary Zcash block
const dagNode = IpldZcash.util.deserialize(zcashBlock)
console.log(dagNode)
```
