Browser tool
IPFS in the Browser
Creates a temporary IPFS node in your browser and demos fetching a file via CID.
What it does
This page creates an IPFS node in your browser and exposes it as window.node so you can experiment from DevTools.
It also includes a small example that cats a hard-coded CID and renders it into an <img> tag.
How to use it
- Open: /tools/ipfs/index.html
- Open DevTools → Console
- Look for
window.nodeand try IPFS methods likenode.add()andnode.cat()
Notes
- This is a demo / experiment and relies on a third-party CDN script include.
- Running multiple tabs of the page at once can cause conflicts (multiple nodes attempting to use the same config/identity).
