# ruby-ipfs-http-client

> A client library for the IPFS HTTP API, implemented in Ruby.

Summary:

Make sure the Ipfs daemon is running, otherwise

the client will not be able to connect.

You'll get an error `Ipfs::UnreachableDaemon` and the program

execution will stop if daemon is not present.

The client will make a persistent connection to the API.

To access the library from your source file:

```ruby

require 'ipfs'

```

> TODO: use a configuration file and/or environment variables to specify the http http-client url.

Those are hard-coded at the moment :(

## Ipfs::File

This class is intended to manipulate files through Ipfs.

Methods are documented [here](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ruby-ipfs-http-client/Ipfs/File)
