Ipfs-node NPM | npm.io

IPFS Node

ipfs-node is a typescript library that simplifies the use of IPFS based on typescript using the helia and kubo-rpc-client library.

Installation:

This library requires running access to the IPFS Kubo daemon server API.

npm install ipfs-node
#OR
yarn add ipfs-node
#OR
pnpm add ipfs-node

Example:

const ipfsNode = RunIpfsNode.run();
const buffer = Buffer.from(new TextEncoder().encode('Hello world!'));
const { cid } = await ipfsNode.push(buffer);
const res = await ipfsNode.fetch(cid);
if (res.toString() !== buffer.toString()) throw new Error('> Test fail!');
console.log('> Test passed successfully.', cid);

A full example of using the repository can be found here ipfs-node-examples.

Usage

I strongly recommend using this module separately from the main application using the microservices structure. For example, you can create RPC when using IPFS nodes.
