About

Exports a createHelia function that returns an object that implements the Helia API.

Pass it to other modules like @helia/unixfs to make files available on the distributed web.

Example

import { createHelia } from 'helia'
import { unixfs } from '@helia/unixfs'
import { CID } from 'multiformats/cid'

const helia = await createHelia()

const fs = unixfs(helia)
fs.cat(CID.parse('bafyFoo'))

Install

$ npm i helia

Browser <script> tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make its exports available as Helia in the global namespace.
