In this folder and on ProtoSchool, you can find a variety of examples to help you get started with js-ipfs, in Node.js and in the Browser. Every example has a specific purpose and some of them incorporate a full tutorial that you can follow through, helping you expand your knowledge about IPFS and the Distributed Web in general.
Let us know if you find any issue or if you want to contribute and add a new tutorial, feel welcome to submit a PR, thank you!
ProtoSchool offers tutorials on decentralized web protocols, through both interactive tutorials and local chapter events. These IPFS tutorials use js-ipfs in the browser:
- Mutable File System (MFS) - Explores the Files API, which lets you work with files and directories as if you were using a traditional name-based file system.
- P2P Data links with content addressing - An introductory look at the DAG API.
- Blogging on the Decentralized Web - An intermediate DAG API challenge using CIDs to link complex data structures.
