webtorrent-fixtures

library2.0.3jsnpmunverified

Provides sample torrent files and content for testing WebTorrent-based applications. Current version 2.0.3, released on npm with a mature and stable API. Includes common torrent fixtures (e.g., 'leaves' torrent with its content) and metadata. No major release cadence; maintained as part of the WebTorrent ecosystem. Key differentiator: standardized, ready-to-use torrent test data with known infohashes and file structures, eliminating the need to generate test fixtures manually.

Shows how to import the fixtures and use them with WebTorrent to start downloading and accessing content.

import fixtures from 'webtorrent-fixtures' import WebTorrent from 'webtorrent' const client = new WebTorrent() client.add(fixtures.leaves.torrent, { path: '/tmp/webtorrent' }, (torrent) => { torrent.files.forEach((file) => { file.getBuffer((err, buf) => { if (err) throw err console.log('Downloaded buffer length:', buf.length) }) }) })

Debug

Known issues

breakingESM-only: This package no longer supports CommonJS require().

fix

Use import statements instead of require()

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedfixtures.leaves.torrent is the correct way to access torrent buffer; older examples may use .torrent_file (removed).

fix

Use .torrent property

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchado not modify exported objects; they are shared across tests and may cause side effects.

fix

Deep-clone if mutation is required.

affects: all
