A client library for the IPFS gRPC API
$ npm i ipfs-grpc-client
<script>
tagLoading this module through a script tag will make it's exports available as IpfsGrpcClient
in the global namespace.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/ipfs-grpc-client/dist/index.min.js"></script>
This module implements part of the IPFS Core API using gRPC over websockets to achieve the bidirectional streaming necessary to have full duplex streams running in the browser.
It's not recommended you use this directly, instead use the ipfs-client to combine this with the ipfs-http-client in order to have HTTP fallback for the missing parts of the API.
The fetch and XHR APIs do not allow for full-duplex streaming, that is, allowing the client to receive bytes from the response while also adding more bytes to the outgoing request.
This limits what we can do in browsers in terms of the API, for example streaming arbitrarily sized payloads or exposing libp2p duplex streams.
gPRC over websockets has no such limitations so allows us to harness the full power of a remote IPFS node in the browser without the need to work around browser behaviour.
