Usage in ssb-db2

YOU MOST LIKELY DON'T NEED TO DO THIS, because ssb-db2 bundles ssb-classic already. But maybe one day ssb-db2 won't bundle it anymore, and then you _would_ have to do this.

- Requires Node.js 12 or higher
- Requires secret-stack@^6.2.0
- Requires ssb-db2@>=5.0.0

`diff
SecretStack({appKey: require('ssb-caps').shs})
.use(require('ssb-master'))
+ .use(require('ssb-db2'))
+ .use(require('ssb-classic'))
.use(require('ssb-conn'))
.use(require('ssb-blobs'))
.call(null, config)
`

Usage as a standalone

`js
const ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys');
const classicFormat = require('ssb-classic');

const msgVal = classicFormat.newNativeMsg({
keys: ssbKeys.generate(),
content: {
type: 'post',
text: 'Hello, world!',
},
timestamp: Date.now(),
previous: null,
hmacKey: null,
});
``
