[WIP] Lua-ipfs

Ipfs API Lua module. Partialy implemented.

You need a running ipfs daemon. Currently, tested with the Go implementation of ipfs.

Install

luarocks install luaipfs [wip]

Or compile it yourself. Libcurl (C library), luajson and luafilesystem modules are needed.

Usage

Create a new ipfs object:

local luaipfs = require("luaipfs")

local ipfs = luaipfs:new()

And use it to download a file from ifps:

local file = io.open("dot.gif", "w+")
file:write(
   ipfs:cat("/ipfs/QmbwqqE78Xba5z8j3CiaAMfPxjSNSda9Z9Rc5VhjyhLkt1")
)
file:close()

Of course, you can do a lot more. Read the documentation.
