IPFS HTTP Client

This package provides a minimal IPFS client.

Here's what's supported:

• add
• get
• cat
• stats/dht

In theory it should work both on Node.js and in the browser.

Installation

pnpm install ipfs-http-client-minimal

Usage

This module expects a running IPFS daemon.

ipfs daemon

Use

const isOnline = await client.isOnline()
console.log(isOnline) // true

Upload and download:

const up = await client.add(JSON.stringify({ id: 'abc' }))
const down = await client.cat({ arg: up.Hash })
expect(down).toStrictEqual({
    id: 'abc',
})

Test

pnpm run test
