ipfs-core-types
IPFS interface definitions used by implementations for API compatibility.
Table of contents
Install
$ npm i ipfs-core-types
Background
The primary goal of this module is to define and ensure that IPFS core implementations and their respective client libraries implement the same interface, so that developers can quickly change between a local and a remote node without having to change their applications.
It offers a set of typescript interface definitions that define the IPFS core API. Once your implementation implements those APIs you can use the tests found in the interface-ipfs-core module to validate your implementation.
$ npm install ipfs-core-types
Usage
Install ipfs-core-types
as one of the dependencies of your project and use it to ensure your implementations API compatibility:
class MyImpl {
}
In Typescript
import type { IPFS } from 'ipfs-core-types'
class MyImpl implements IPFS {
}
Validation
In order to validate API compatibility you can run typescript over your implementation which will point out all the API compatibilities if there are some.
