Install:
npm install --save ipfsd-ctlUsage
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.exit()
})
})If you need want to use an existing ipfs installation you can set $IPFS_EXEC=/path/to/ipfs to ensure it uses that.
