## An example of how to pin a file to IPFS with Pinata in a JavaScript app

If you're like me and had no luck finding any examples or code to show how this is done, then hopefully this will help you.

### Pinning a string

```javascript

async function save() {

  let ipfs = await IPFS.create({

    url: "https://api.pinata.cloud/psa",

    repo: 'file-path' + Math.random()

  })

  const { cid } = await ipfs.add('hello world')

  const url = `https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/${cid.string}`

  console.log(url)

}

```

### Pinning a file

```javascript

async function onChange(e) {

  const file = e.target.files[0]

  let ipfs = await IPFS.create({

    url: "https://api.pinata.cloud/psa",

    repo: 'file-path' + Math.random()

  })

  const { cid } = await ipfs.add(file)

  const url = `https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/${cid.string}`

  console.log(url)

}

```
