npm i ipfs-only-hash

Usage

From the command line

ipfs-only-hash <file>

# or pipe in

const hash = await Hash.of(data)
console.log(hash) // QmTp2hEo8eXRp6wg7jXv1BLCMh5a4F3B7buAUZNZUu772j

API

const Hash = require('ipfs-only-hash')

Hash.of(input, options?): Promise<string>

Calculate the hash for the provided input.

  • input (string|Uint8Array|AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>): The input bytes to calculate the IPFS hash for. Note that Node.js readable streams are async iterable!
  • options (Object): Optional options passed directly to the ipfs-unixfs-importer module. See the API docs for possible values.
