Remote services missing from ipfs-core ?

• Platform:
  Windows 10 Pro x64
  Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.867)

• Subsystem:
  PIN

Severity:

Medium

Description:

When trying to use any function under ipfs.pin.remote, it says remote does not exist. And looking inside the ipfs-core folder in node_modules, I can't find the remote folder, unlike with ipfs-http-client.

My apologies if it is a duplicate or if I misunderstood something in the docs.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Creating a simple project with Typescript and no other dependencies than ipfs-core, ts-node and typescript.

The following code was used:

import IPFS from 'ipfs-core'

async function test()
{
    const ipfs = await IPFS.create();

    await ipfs.pin.remote.service.add('pinata', {
        endpoint: new URL('https://api.pinata.cloud'),
        key: "test"
    });

    await ipfs.stop();
}

test();

This is not implemented in js-ipfs yet - it's being done in #3588

These methods exist in the http client because you can use it with go-ipfs which has implemented the remote pinning API.
