Moralis mutable file system ipfs

Moralis General
#1

I understand that the IPFS client has a concept of a mutable file system (MFS) that allows you to manage files similarly to a directory on any computer, eventhough under the hood it is immutable.

From reading the moralis docs it doesn’t appear that the SDK supports this feature. Can this be added to moralis or is there a way to integrate the logic from the ipfs library to achieve this?

https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/file-systems/#mutable-file-system-mfs

#2

How are you implementing IPFS on the Moralis side?

#3

Currently I am instantiating a Moralis.File and then calling the saveIPFS() method.

const moralisZipFile = new Moralis.File(`Archive.zip`, { base64: btoa(encryptedZipFile) });
await moralisZipFile.saveIPFS({ useMasterKey: true });
const backupLink = moralisZipFile.ipfs();

I am not sure how else to access IPFS as this is the only way it is explained in the docs.

#4

you can upload a folder now to IPFS too with the API.

you can propose on roadmap.moralis.io this mutable file system functionality, we don’t have it now

#5

Ok thank you. I have posted a suggestion on the roadmap.

What happened to the suggestion? did they went through with it?

The roadmap is a bit different so only planned or in-progressed/live features are there now.
