The InterPlanetary File System is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting all computing devices.
It is an ideal solution for a decentralized storage for blockchain-based content and is optimized for the Algorand blockchain .
laravel-ipfs is a simple wrapper around the IPFS HTTP API with an elegant approach to connect your application to the IPFS network so you can easily host and fetch content with just a few lines of code.
Once installed, you can simply connect your application to the network and add content:
$ipfs->add(Utils::tryFopen('ipfs.png', 'r'), 'ipfs.png', ['pin' => true]);or show IPFS object data:
$contents = $ipfs->cat('QmNZdYefySKuzF37CWjR8vZ319gYToS61r3v3sRwApXgaY');Note: laravel-ipfs requires PHP 7.4+
You can install the package via composer:
composer require rootsoft/laravel-ipfsCreate an new IPFSClient and pass the IP address and port of your local (or pinned) network.
$ipfs = new IPFSClient('127.0.0.1', 5001);That's it! We can now easily add new content on a decentralized network!
We've added special support to make the life of a Laravel developer even more easy!
Publish the ipfs.php config file using:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rootsoft\IPFS\IPFSServiceProvider" --tag="config"
Open the config/ipfs.php file in your project and insert your credentials
return [
'ipfs' => [
'base_url' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 5001,
],
];Now you can use the IPFS Facade!
