is-ipfs

is-ipfs

A set of utilities to help identify IPFS resources on the web

About

A suite of util methods that provides efficient validation.

Detection of IPFS Paths and identifiers in URLs is a two-stage process:

1. pathPattern/pathGatewayPattern/subdomainGatewayPattern regex is applied to quickly identify potential candidates
2. proper CID validation is applied to remove false-positives

Example

import * as isIPFS from 'is-ipfs'
