Usage

Creating HTTP Response

This project creates a HTTP response for an IPFS Path. This response can be a file, a HTML with directory listing or the entry point of a web page.

import { getResponse } from 'ipfs-http-response'

const result = await getResponse(ipfsNode, ipfsPath)
console.log(result)

Using protocol-agnostic resolver

This module also exports the used ipfs resolver, which should be used when the response needs to be customized or non-HTTP transport is used:

import { resolver } from 'ipfs-http-response'

const result = await resolver.cid(ipfsNode, ipfsPath)
console.log(result)

If ipfsPath points at a directory, resolver.cid will throw Error This dag node is a directory with a cid attribute that can be passed to resolver.directory:

import { resolver } from 'ipfs-http-response'

const result = await resolver.directory(ipfsNode, ipfsPath, cid)
console.log(result)

result will be either a string with HTML directory listing or an array with CIDs of index pages present in inspected directory.
