Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
        
    

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]
        
    

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.celeduc:java-ipfs-api:v1.0.0-PRE'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.celeduc:java-ipfs-api:v1.0.0-PRE")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.celeduc</groupId>
	    <artifactId>java-ipfs-api</artifactId>
	    <version>v1.0.0-PRE</version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.celeduc" % "java-ipfs-api" % "v1.0.0-PRE"
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.celeduc/java-ipfs-api "v1.0.0-PRE"]]

  • Run ant dist
  • Copy dist/ipfs.jar into your project. Appropriate versions of other dependencies are also included in dist/lib/.
  • Run tests using ant test.

Usage

Create an IPFS instance with:

IPFS ipfs = new IPFS("/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001");

Then run commands like:

ipfs.refs.local();

To add a file use:

NamedStreamable.FileWrapper file = new NamedStreamable.FileWrapper(new File("hello.txt"));
MerkleNode addResult = ipfs.add(file);

To add a byte[] use:

NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper file = new NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper("hello.txt", "G'day world! IPFS rocks!".getBytes());
MerkleNode addResult = ipfs.add(file);

To get a file use:

Multihash filePointer = Multihash.fromBase58("QmPZ9gcCEpqKTo6aq61g2nXGUhM4iCL3ewB6LDXZCtioEB");
byte[] fileContents = ipfs.cat(filePointer);

Dependencies

Current versions of dependencies are included in the ./lib directory.
