Amend an existing Aleph message

Usage

$ python3 -m aleph_client amend <Your Post Message Item_Hash>

The CLI opens a dialogue where the Message Content can be changed.

  • Original message displayed:

{
    "type": "test",
    "address": <The address that was used to create the Message>,
    "content": this is the content I want to save to Aleph",
    "time": <timestamp>
}
  • Let's change it to:

{
    "type": "test",
    "address": <The address that was used to create the Message>,
    "content": {"body": "This is my updated content", "tags": "NEW_TAG"},
    "time": <timestamp>
}

You have multiple prompts that are available to you.

Use Ctrl-X and Y to confirm and save the content and then enter at the next prompt about the file name.
