A Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API client

About

A client implementation of the IPFS Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API that can be used to interact with any compliant server implementation.

Example

import { createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient } from '@helia/delegated-routing-v1-http-api-client'
import { CID } from 'multiformats/cid'

const client = createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient('https://example.org')

for await (const prov of getProviders(CID.parse('QmFoo'))) {
  // ...
}
Copy

How to use with libp2p

The client can be configured as a libp2p service, this will enable it as both a ContentRouting and a PeerRouting implementation

Example

import { createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient } from '@helia/delegated-routing-v1-http-api-client'
import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { peerIdFromString } from '@libp2p/peer-id'

const client = createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient('https://example.org')
const libp2p = await createLibp2p({
  // other config here
  services: {
    delegatedRouting: client
  }
})

// later this will use the configured HTTP gateway
await libp2p.peerRouting.findPeer(peerIdFromString('QmFoo'))
Copy

Caching

By default, the client caches successful (200) delegated routing responses in browser environments (that support the Cache API) for a duration of 5 minutes. The client does this by adding an x-cache-expires header to the response object.

If caching is enabled, the client will cache responses for the duration of cacheTTL milliseconds. If cacheTTL is 0, caching is disabled:

Example

// disable caching
const client = createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient('https://example.org', { cacheTTL: 0 })

Filtering with IPIP-484

The client can be configured to pass filter options to the delegated routing server as defined in IPIP-484. The filter options be set globally, by passing them to the client constructor, or on a per-request basis.

Example

import { createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient } from '@helia/delegated-routing-v1-http-api-client'
import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { peerIdFromString } from '@libp2p/peer-id'

// globally set filter options
const client = createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient('https://delegated-ipfs.dev', {
  filterProtocols: ['transport-bitswap', 'unknown', 'transport-ipfs-gateway-http'],
  filterAddrs: ['webtransport', 'webrtc-direct', 'wss']
})

// per-request filter options
for await (const prov of getProviders(CID.parse('bafy'), {
  filterProtocols: ['transport-ipfs-gateway-http'],
  filterAddrs: ['!p2p-circuit']
})) {
  // ...
}
Copy
