Unable to connect browser ipfs node with ipfs-cluster running in local

[logesh2496]

• Version:
  js-ipfs/0.16.1

• Platform:
  Chrome Version 113.0.5672.92 (Official Build) (arm64)

• Subsystem:

Severity:

High

Description:

• I tried to connect to ipfs-cluster running in my local from the browser ipfs node examples.

await create({
repo: 'ipfs-' + Math.random(),
config: {
Addresses: {
Swarm: [
'/dns4/wrtc-star1.par.dwebops.pub/tcp/443/wss/p2p-webrtc-star'
]
}
},
})

After successfully connected to swarm address

const peerID = peerIdFromString('peerID here'); // import { peerIdFromString } from '@libp2p/peer-id
await ipfs.swarm.connect(peerID); // This throws error

• Unable to connect to the local cluster,
  Error: The dial request has no valid addresses
• I am trying to connect the browser ipfs nodes to the cluster

Steps to reproduce the error:

1. Create a ipfs node on browser with /dns4/wrtc-star1.par.dwebops.pub/tcp/443/wss/p2p-webrtc-star as swarm
2. Console will print "Swarm Listening: /dns4/wrtc-star1.par.dwebops.pub/tcp/443/wss/p2p-webrtc-star/p2p/peerid which is correct
3. Now do ipfs.swarm.connect(peerID)
4. This produces error: The dial request has no valid addresses

Hello @logesh2496,

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can learn more about this deprecation and the corresponding migration guide here.

This current bug or feature request will not be addressed in js-ipfs due to its deprecation. We believe the issue has been resolved in Helia though 😊

As a result, we are going to close this issue. If you think we have done this in error, please feel to reopen with any comments in the next week as we will circle back on the reopened issues.

We hope you will consider Helia for your IPFS in JS needs. We look forward to engaging with you more there.

Thanks,
@ipfs/helia-dev

Thanks @SgtPooki

Can you point me to these documentation resources:

1. Pinning files (similar to https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/docs/core-api/PIN.md#ipfspinaddipfspath-options)
2. Connecting to a cluster

on helia? I have been exploring but couldn't find any.

Thanks again.
