IPFS-Lite is an embeddable, lightweight IPFS peer which runs the minimal setupto provide anipld.DAGService and UnixFS-files addition and retrieval.

It can:

• Add, Get, Remove IPLD Nodes to/from the IPFS Network (remove is a local blockstore operation).
• Add single files (chunk, build the DAG and Add) from aio.Reader.
• Get single files given a their CID.

It needs:

• Alibp2p Host
• Alibp2p DHT
• Adatastore, such asBadgerDB,go-ds-flatfs or anin-memory one.

Some helper functions are provided toinitialize these quickly.

It provides:

• Anipld.DAGService.
• AnAddFile method to add content from a reader.
• AGetFile method to get a file from IPFS.

The goal of IPFS-Lite is to run thebare minimal functionality for anyIPLD-based application to interact with the IPFS Network by getting andputting blocks to it, rather than having to deal with the complexities ofusing a full IPFS daemon, and with the liberty of sharing the needed libp2pHost and DHT forother things.
