ArMem

ArMem stands for Arweave in memory and is a class to emulate an Arweave node and AO units in memory, which is internally used in the WAO testing framework. You can instantiate ArMem and control multiple emulators by passing it between other classes.

Instantiate

When you instantiate WAO connect or AO from wao/test, it automatically and internally instantiates ArMem.

import { connect } from "wao/test"
const { spawn, message, dryrun, assign, result, mem } = connect() // aoconnect APIs

import { AO } from "wao/test"
const ao = new AO() // ao.mem

You can instantiate ArMem and pass it to other classes.

import { ArMem, AO, AR, connect } = "wao/test"
const mem = new ArMem()
const { spawn, message, dryrun, assign, result } = connect(mem)
const ao = new AO({ mem })
const ar = new AR({ mem })

If you don't pass the same ArMem instance, the two AO instances will have different environments.

import { AO } = "wao/test"
const ao = new AO() // ao.mem
const ao2 = new AO() // ao2.mem

ao.mem and ao2.mem are not connected. They are on different networks.

import { AO } = "wao/test"
const ao = new AO()
const ao2 = new AO({ mem: ao.mem })

This will connect the two.
