Upload File

This function helps a user to upload a new file on the Inter Planetary File Storage

Overview

The "uploadFile" function is specifically designed to facilitate the process of uploading data to the IPFS network. By supplying the file in a buffer format, this function allows users to store their data on the decentralised IPFS system and receive a unique CID (Content Identifier) in return, which acts as a reference to the uploaded data.

How to upload a file to IPFS using TatumSDK

Use the TatumSDK (@tatumio/tatum) to upload your file to IPFS.
Typescript
Javascript
// yarn add @tatumio/tatum
import { TatumSDK, Network, Polygon, ResponseDto, FungibleTokenBalance } from
'@tatumio/tatum'
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'
const tatumClient = await TatumSDK.init<Polygon>({
network: Network.Polygon,
verbose: true,
apiKey: {
v4: '<apikey>',
},
})
const buffer = readFileSync('/path/to/file/file.jpg')
const result = await tatumClient.ipfs.uploadFile({ file: buffer })
console.log(JSON.stringify(result))
await tatum.destroy();
// Install with: npm install @tatumio/tatum
const { TatumSDK, Network } = require("@tatumio/tatum");
const readFileSync = require('fs').readFileSync;
const tatumClient = await TatumSDK.init({
network: Network.Polygon,
verbose: true,
apiKey: {
v4: '<apikey>',
},
})
const buffer = readFileSync('/path/to/file/file.jpg')
const result = await tatumClient.ipfs.uploadFile({ file: buffer })
console.log(JSON.stringify(result))
await tatum.destroy();
Expected Response
// Some code
{
"data": {
"ipfsHash":"bafybeighfkqyizr3ncoraqfyi6twf2tnxjxhxewwaqvdom57ijiudh5w7y"
},
"status":"SUCCESS"
}
