Separating out into this new issue the request to build a new tutorial on working with files using the non-MFS commands. (Issue #91 will now be focused only on the MFS tutorial, which will be produced first, via WIP PR #200.)
This tutorial won't be produced until the non-MFS API supports blobs (which @hugomrdias is working on separately).
Here's a quick overview of what the non-MFS lesson structure might look like. See #91 for other conversation around related educational examples.
Teaches regular part of API for files on IPFS (not MFS)
This would be very similar in scope to: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/ipfs-101
node.add
node.cat
to retrieve the filewrapWithDirectory: true
so that there will be a path (essentially a filename) and not just a hash returnednode.get
to retrieve the file and see both path and content (highlight differences betweencat
andget
)As we'll now be framing this as the more advanced file-related lesson, we may also need to make comparisons and reveal some of what was really happening behind the scenes in MFS.
