PHP Adapter for IPFS

Dont know what ipfs is? the future of filesystems :) read here for more information!

Installation

as always, use composer!

$ composer require ipfs/php-client

choosing the HTTP Adapter

If you plan to use the REST Interface of the ipfs-daemon you should choose a http-implementation. We use php-http for abstraction.

See here for a list of available implementations!

if you only want to speak with a local ipfs-daemon you should use the IPFS\\Drivers\\Cli adapter.

Annotations

as we use Annotations you should register the AnnotationLoader

$loader = require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry;
AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, "loadClass"));

Drivers

we ship with different adapters for communicating with the daemon.

CLI

if you are using an ipfs binary that is not available in you $PATH variable, provide an ENV var for it:

$ export IPFS_BINARY=/my/location/to/ipfs

make sure you set IPFS_PATH in you ENV if you are not using ~/.ipfs as location.

to use this Driver from the commandline simply provide the option:

$ bin/php-ipfs version --driver=IPFS\\Driver\\Cli

HTTP

if you are talking to a remote daemon provide an ENV var for it:

$ export IPFS_API=http://somehost:5001/api/v0

to use this Driver from the commandline simply provide the option (or leave it away since its the default):

$ bin/php-ipfs version --driver=IPFS\\Driver\\Http
$ bin/php-ipfs version

Client

this Driver is intended for programmatically usage:

$driver = $container[IPFS\Driver\Cli::class];
//$driver = $container[IPFS\Driver\Http::class];
$client = new IPFS\Client($driver);
$response = $client->execute((new \IPFS\Api\Basics())->version());
var_dump($response);

Apis

All Api-Endpoints are autogenerated from the official ipfs docs and are regulary checked for changes.

To rebuild the Apis yourself, simply run composer rebuild-api

The following endpoints exists:
