• Subsystem: js-ipfs

Type: Bug

Severity: high

Description:

default repo doesn't persist in browser when you upgrade from v0.38.1 to v0.39.0

this is a big problem for serverless apps where the browser is the only place user data is stored :P

Steps to reproduce the error:

clone this repo and follow the simple three step readme: https://github.com/npfoss/js-ipfs-bug-2

Looks like between the two versions the level datastores gained a "level-js-" prefix.

@achingbrain do you have a sec to look into this?

The defaults passed to level-js changed with the upgrade to level so a few changes need to be made:

• fix: pass options to level Level/packager#96
• fix: allow empty prefix option Level/level-js#184
• fix: pass backwards-compatible level-js options js-ipfs-repo#215

fixed in 0.39.1 and 0.40.0
