Run example constructor

[RichardLitt]

I've created a file, test.js:

const NPP = require('./newpieceplease')

NPP.onready = () => {
   console.log(NPP.orbitdb.id)
}

And I include the constructor. How do I call onready? What steps do I need more?

Also:

When you ran the code in Node.js, you created two folders in your project structure: 'orbitdb/ and ipfs/.

This didn't happen for me. What am I missing?

Excellent question, @RichardLitt , thanks for asking.

I'm doing the tutorial myself as a totally newbie to IPFS and OrbitDB. And I'm also redoing for my own usage the 01_Basics.md, eventually for a PR.

Here is a transcript of what I did, along with the output (disregard the undefined, it's coming from the JavaScript evaluator)

Note: the output line after "Promise" is a console.log I added for my own usage.
