Install

In Node.js through npm

$ npm install --save is-ipfs

Browser: Browserify, Webpack, other bundlers

The code published to npm that gets loaded on require is in fact an ES5 transpiled version with the right shims added. This means that you can require it and use with your favorite bundler without having to adjust asset management process.

var isIPFS = require('is-ipfs')

In the Browser through <script> tag

Loading this module through a script tag will make the IsIpfs obj available in the global namespace.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/is-ipfs/dist/index.min.js"></script>
<!-- OR -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/is-ipfs/dist/index.js"></script>

API

A suite of util methods that provides efficient validation.

Detection of IPFS Paths and identifiers in URLs is a two-stage process:

1. urlPattern/pathPattern/subdomainPattern regex is applied to quickly identify potential candidates
2. proper CID validation is applied to remove false-positives

Content Identifiers

isIPFS.multihash(hash)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid multihash or false otherwise.

isIPFS.cid(hash)

Returns true if the provided string or CID object represents a valid CID or false otherwise.

isIPFS.base32cid(hash)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid CID in Base32 encoding or false otherwise.

URLs

isIPFS.url(url)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPFS or IPNS url or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipfsUrl(url)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPFS url or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipnsUrl(url)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPNS url or false otherwise.

Paths

Standalone validation of IPFS Paths: /ip(f|n)s/<cid>/..

isIPFS.path(path)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPFS or IPNS path or false otherwise.

isIPFS.urlOrPath(path)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPFS or IPNS url or path or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipfsPath(path)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPFS path or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipnsPath(path)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid IPNS path or false otherwise.

isIPFS.cidPath(path)

Returns true if the provided string is a valid "CID path" (IPFS path without /ipfs/ prefix) or false otherwise.

Subdomains

Validated subdomain convention: cidv1b32.ip(f|n)s.domain.tld

isIPFS.subdomain(url)

Returns true if the provided string includes a valid IPFS or IPNS subdomain or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipfsSubdomain(url)

Returns true if the provided string includes a valid IPFS subdomain or false otherwise.

isIPFS.ipnsSubdomain(url)

Returns true if the provided string includes a valid IPNS subdomain or false otherwise.

Multiaddrs

Below methods provide basic detection of multiaddrs: composable and future-proof network addresses.

Complex validation of multiaddr can be built using isIPFS.multiaddr and mafmt library.

isIPFS.multiaddr(addr)

Returns true if the provided string, Multiaddr or Buffer represents a valid multiaddr or false otherwise.

isIPFS.peerMultiaddr(addr)

Returns true if the provided string, Multiaddr or Buffer represents a valid "IPFS Peer" multiaddr (matching IPFS format from mafmt) or false otherwise.
