[![Known Vulnerabilities](https://snyk.io/test/github/akashaproject/ipfs-connector/badge.svg)](https://snyk.io/test/github/akashaproject/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](https://github.com/ipfs/js-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](https://github.com/AkashaProject/ipfs-connector/tree/master/tests)

For more information please see the [API docs](http://docs.akasha.world/ipfs-connector/index.html)

### Installation

```

const instance = IpfsConnector.getInstance();

// start ipfs daemon and download binaries if needed

instance.start().then((api) => {});

// stop daemon

instance.stop()

// see api docs

// add/get data to ipfs

// cid zdpuB2CAUgUbyJ4s8SmqcGGaGfs7bG337dDNty8NSCR3fhgRw

const cid = instance.api.add({firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe'});

//returns John

instance.api.get(cid, '/firstName');
