There’s a new version of the ipld-explorer-cli tool for exploring IPLD data! Let’s break down those acronyms and explain why I’m so excited about this.
IPLD (Inter Planetary Linked Data) is the underlying data structure used by IPFS that allows it to store, retrieve and traverse through any type of content-addressed data. Recently, our team created the awesome new IPLD Explorer so you can visually explore IPLD objects. If you haven’t already checked it out, hop over and explore everything from git repos to ethereum blocks to historic photo archives of the lunar landings to your own IPLD data.
The IPLD Explorer also comes with a command-line interface (ipld-explorer-cli) so you can explore with your keyboard. I was inspired to give it an upgrade so that it could resolve IPLD formats other than dag-pb
and dag-cbor
, like git-raw
and ethereum-block
. It also now works with a js-ipfs
daemon if you have one running (you’ll need to update the API address using the “config” command).
Here’s a quick demo video:
Installing and using the new CLI
Ensure you have at least: * Node.js
Install the module globally:
$ npm i -g ipld-explorer-cli
Then, launch the interactive shell:
$ ipld-explorer
You’ll see instructions to explore sample datasets and begin traversing the Merkle forest 🌲🌲🌲. You can also start a js-ipfs daemon to explore your own data. Enjoy!
