js-ipfs-pack

IPFS JavaScript source code packer

Uploads npm packages to IPFS.

Converts occurences of require('package') in source code to require('Qm...').

Install

$ npm install -g js-ipfs-pack

Usage

IPFS daemon should be running.

In node.js package directory run:

$ js-ipfs-pack
QmVmMxoQYNBQ6rskr2ATPs1D6zKijXzMfn2CMf3chQxycR

Usage in code can be found in tests.

Running

IPFS should be mounted at /ipfs and NODE_PATH should point to it.

$ ipfs mount
IPFS mounted at: /ipfs
IPNS mounted at: /ipns
$ export NODE_PATH=/ipfs

Known issues

• Dependencies need to be installed first.
• Directories without package.json should not be in node_modules.
• Recursive requires (can be resolved in future, when cross-package not cross-file).
• Uploads all dependencies in node_modules directory.

TODO

• Organizations includes @org/pkg.
• Includes like: require('package/...').
