Practical overview

When it fits

Use the widget when a website needs the documented IpfsCloud upload flow and its completion event. Consider the local setup when inspecting or working with the web client.

Who it is for

  • Website developers who want to embed a file-selection and upload control.
  • Developers examining or serving the open-source web client locally.

Documented uses

  • Add a file-upload button to a website.
  • Receive upload success or failure and, on success, obtain the file hash, path and size.
  • Serve the application locally through a web server.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and specifies an MIT license. The local-use instructions require a web server.

  • The widget’s success event includes a file hash, path and byte size; failures are reported with status and error details.
  • The README’s example requires jQuery and the widget’s CSS and JavaScript assets.
  • The repository README says the project is being restructured and points to ongoing work in Grafia.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Embed the IpfsCloud upload button

Add the documented file-selection button to a web page and receive its upload result event.

Before you start

  • A web page where the widget will appear.
  • The IpfsCloud widget CSS and JavaScript assets shown in the README.
  • jQuery, which the README identifies as needed for the widget.

Steps

  1. Include the widget stylesheet and jQuery script shown in the README.

  2. Add a div with the ID IpfsCloudUploader where the button should appear.

  3. Include the IpfsCloud uploader script.

  4. Register an icevent listener on the global ipfscloud element to read the event detail.

Expected outcome

A visitor can select a file; the event reports success or failure, and on success includes the file hash, path and size in bytes.
