Basic instance

Plug and play configuration

import { ipfsPinnerProviderFactory, IpfsPinnedCid, IpfsMetadata } from '@rsksmart/ipfs-cpinner-provider'
import { createConnection } from 'typeorm'

const ipfsApiUrl = 'http://localhost:5001'
const maxStorage = 2000000 // 2 mb

const database = 'my-ipfs-pinner-provider.sqlite'
const Entities = [IpfsPinnedCid, IpfsMetadata]

const dbConnection = await createConnection({
  type: 'sqlite',
  database,
  entities: Entities,
  logging: false,
  dropSchema: true,
  synchronize: true
})

const ipfsPinnerProvider = await ipfsPinnerProviderFactory({ dbConnection, ipfsApiUrl, maxStorage })
// NOTE: ipfsApiUrl is optional. Default value is: 'http://localhost:5001'
// NOTE: maxStorage is optional. Default value is: 1000000 // 1 mb

Usage

const did = 'did:ethr:rsk:12345678'
const key = 'the key'
const content = 'the content'

const cid: string = await ipfsPinnerProvider.create(did, key, content)

const files: { id: string, content: string }[] = await ipfsPinnerProvider.get(did, key)

const keys: string[] = await ipfsPinnerProvider.getKeys(did)

const newCid: string = await ipfsPinnerProvider.swap(did, key, 'the new content')

const anotherCid: string = await ipfsPinnerProvider.swap(did, key, 'the new content', newCid) // cid can be specified if there is more than one content associated to the given did and key

const deleted: boolean = await ipfsPinnerProvider.delete(did, key)

const deleted: boolean = await ipfsPinnerProvider.delete(did, key, cid) // cid can be specified if there is more than one content associated to the given did and key

const availableStorage: number = await ipfsPinnerProvider.getAvailableStorage(did) // return the amount of bytes available to store value associated to the given did
