In this example, you will find a boilerplate you can use to guide yourself into bundling js-ipfs-http-client with browserify, so that you can use it in your own web app!
As for any js-ipfs-http-client example, you need a running IPFS daemon, you learn how to do that here:
Note: If you load your app from a different domain than the one the daemon is running (most probably), you will need to set up CORS, see https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-http-client#cors to learn how to do that.
A quick (and dirty way to get it done) is:
> ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin "[\"*\"]"
> ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "[\"true\"]"Once the daemon is on, run the following commands within this folder:
> npm install
> npm startNow open your browser at http://localhost:8888
You should see the following:
