"content": "# @hyperswarm/testnet\n\nSmall module to help you spin up a local Hyperswarm testnet.\n\n```\nnpm install @hyperswarm/testnet\n```\n\nUse this if you want to use the swarm in tests, etc.\n\n## Usage\n\n```js\nconst createTestnet = require('@hyperswarm/testnet')\n\nconst testnet = await createTestnet(10) // create a local testnet with 10 dht nodes\n```\n\n## API\n\n#### `const testnet = await createTestnet(size = 10, [options])`\n\nCreate a new testnet. `size` is how many DHT nodes you want in it. Options include:\n\n```js\n{\n port: preferredLocalPort, // defaults to ANY (0)\n host: preferredLocalHost, // defaults to 127.0.0.1\n teardown // optional async teardown helper ie, t.teardown in brittle/tap etc\n}\n```\n\n#### `testnet.nodes`\n\nAn array of nodes in the testnet.\n\n#### `testnet.bootstrap`\n\nAn array of bootstrap addresses of the testnet.\n\n#### `const node = testnet.createNode([options])`\n\nCreate an additional ephemeral node and add it to the testnet. Options are the same as [`new DHT()`](https://github.com/h",
