playground-js-ipfs

A little experiment to showcase what the js-ipfs API could look like using pull-stream. It supports full backpressure, propogation of errors and propagation of cancellation, and can gracefully be degraded to any paradigm subset.

example init

Initialize a node

const ipfs = require('ipfs')

ipfs('/my-cool/repo-name', (err, node) => {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log('node is online')
})

example cat

Read a file from IPFS and stream it to stdout

const pull = require('pull-stream')
const ipfs = require('ipfs')

ipfs('/my-cool/repo-name', (err, node) => {
  if (err) throw err
  const cat$ = node.files.cat('<hash>')
  pull(cat$, pull.log())
})
