Overview

Package core implements the IpfsNode object and related methods.

Packages underneath core/ provide a (relatively) stable, low-level API to carry out most IPFS-related tasks. For more details on the other interfaces and how core/... fits into the bigger IPFS picture, see:

IpfsNode is IPFS Core module. It represents an IPFS instance.

func NewNode

func NewNode(ctx context.Context, cfg *BuildCfg) (*IpfsNode, error)

NewNode constructs and returns an IpfsNode using the given cfg.

func (*IpfsNode) Bootstrap

func (n *IpfsNode) Bootstrap(cfg bootstrap.BootstrapConfig) error

Bootstrap will set and call the IpfsNodes bootstrap function.

func (*IpfsNode) Close

func (n *IpfsNode) Close() error

Close calls Close() on the App object

func (*IpfsNode) Context

func (n *IpfsNode) Context() context.Context

Context returns the IpfsNode context

type Mounts

type Mounts struct {
	Ipfs mount.Mount
	Ipns mount.Mount
}

Mounts defines what the node's mount state is. This should perhaps be moved to the daemon or mount. It's here because it needs to be accessible across daemon requests.
