IPFS HTTP module for Nest framework (NestJS)

This package provides a IPFS client as a NestJS Module.

Because the previous IPFS HTTP module has been depreciated, and the replacement kubo-rpc-client is utter madness to work with in CommonJS (kubo-rpc-client is a ESM library, which relies on ipfs-utils which is a CommonJS library), I decided to manually implement the important endpoints.

Here's what's supported:

• add
• get
• cat
• stats/dht

Installation

• v0.2.0 is using NestJS 9 for legacy reasons.

pnpm install nestjs-ipfs-http

Usage

This module expects a running IPFS daemon.

ipfs daemon

Import

@Module({
    imports: [
        IpfsHttpModule.registerAsync({
            useFactory: () => {
                return {
                    client: {
                        host: '127.0.0.1',
                        port: 5001,
                    },
                }
            },
        }),
    ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Use

const isOnline = await ipfsHttpService.client.isOnline()
console.log(isOnline) // true

Refer to test/e2e/ipfs.spec.ts for more examples.

Test

pnpm run test
