A single object can have many links to other nodes. To illustrate this, let's create new nodes which could be used for a tag cloud.
Until now, we've been using named links, meaning that we create a named field with a single link as its value, such as:
{
author: samCid
}
However, we can also choose to gather links into an array without naming each one individually.
{
links: [natCid, samCid]
}
This is perfect for our use case, where a single tag should be associated with many posts, like so:
{
tag: "name-of-the-tag",
posts: [/* links to the CIDs */]
}
Please note that arrays are order-dependent. This means that two arrays with the same links in a different order will get different CIDs.
Create new nodes for the tags outdoor
and hobby
in the format shown above, linking to the relevant blog posts using arrays. Insert the new tag objects into IPFS via ipfs.dag.put
and return the two resulting CIDs as an array.
Feeling stuck? We'd love to hear what's confusing so we can improve this lesson. Please share your questions and feedback.
