Package Exports

ipfsd-ctl

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ipfsd-ctl) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

ipfsd-ctl - Control an ipfs node daemon

This is a simple module to control an ipfs daemon.

Install:

npm install --save ipfsd-ctl

Usage

IPFS daemons are already easy to start and stop, but this module is here to do it from javascript itself.

// start a disposable node, and get access to the api
// print the node id, and kill the temporary daemon

// IPFS_PATH will point to /tmp/ipfs_***** and will be
// cleaned up when the process exits.

var ipfsd = require('ipfsd-ctl')

ipfsd.disposableApi(function (err, ipfs) {
  ipfs.id(function (err, id) {
    console.log(id)
    process.kill()
  })
})
