IPFS File Manager

This repository contains JavaScript code to interact with IPFS (InterPlanetary File System). It provides functionalities to add and retrieve files from IPFS.

Adding a File to IPFS

To add a file to IPFS, use the following code:

import { create } from 'ipfs';
import { writeFile } from 'fs/promises';

class IPFSFileManager {
  // ...
}

const ipfsFileManager = new IPFSFileManager();

const filePath = './file.txt';
ipfsFileManager.addFileToIPFS(filePath);

Make sure to replace filePath with the path of the file you want to add to IPFS.

Retrieving a File from IPFS

To retrieve a file from IPFS, use the following code:

import { create } from 'ipfs';
import { writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
import { fileTypeFromBuffer } from 'file-type';

class IPFSFileManager {
  // ...
}

const ipfsFileManager = new IPFSFileManager();

const cid = 'QmQgGxzWnzjCfouxRiozBiEG3wcsuJGWjtHjv3wurVbJ9s'; // Replace with the CID of the file you want to retrieve
const filepath = './retrievedFile'; // Specify the file path without the extension
ipfsFileManager.retrieveFileFromIPFS(cid, filepath);

Make sure to replace cid with the CID of the file you want to retrieve from IPFS.

Notes

• Make sure you have Node.js installed in your development environment.
• Install the necessary dependencies before running the code. You can use npm or yarn to install the dependencies specified in the package.json file.

Feel free to explore and modify the code according to your needs.
