@michaelmure/ipfs-connector v1.12.2

ipfs-connector

Library for solving the cross-platform binaries problem (works on Windows as well) containing helpers for easier read/write on IPFS by extending the JavaScript IPFS API functionality.

Some of the differences:

• Able to specify init folder
• Promised based, no callbacks
• Connector can be accessed from anywhere inside the app as it is a singleton
• Plug your favorite logging library (by default console). See tests folder

For more information please see the API docs

Installation

npm install @akashaproject/ipfs-connector --save

Usage

import { IpfsConnector } from '@akashaproject/ipfs-connector';

const instance = IpfsConnector.getInstance();

// start ipfs daemon and download binaries if needed
instance.start().then((api) => {});

// stop daemon
instance.stop()

// see api docs
// add data to ipfs
instance.api.add(object | Buffer)

// read data from ipfs
instance.api.get('ipfs hash')

// resolve ipfs hash object paths(see tests)

// access default js-ipfs-api from
instance.api.apiClient
