IPFS in JavaScript

Developers can get started with IPFS in JavaScript using Helia, a lean, modular, and modern implementation of IPFS for the JS and browser environments. Helia superseded js-ipfs (opens new window), which was the first JS implementation. Learn more at https://github.com/ipfs/helia (opens new window).

Hands-on examples

New to IPFS or JavaScript? Get started with the Helia 101 example (opens new window), which will walk you through spawning a Helia node, adding a file, and cat-ing the file CID both locally and through an IPFS gateway.

Additional Helia examples can be found here (opens new window).
