Rust-CID-npm

A minimal rust library, a CLI application, and wasm bindings exposed in an npm package to generate IPFS CIDs of a given file. It aims to be fast to execute and tiny on the wire and at rest.

The intent of the tools is to be for CID generation/verification only. It is not in any way an IPFS client, so when you don't need all of rust-ipfs or js-ipfs

Exampe use case: you want is to genereate a CID of a file on your (web)app to cross-check it's validity, an/or broadcast this to a full IPFS client.

The intent of the CLI tool is to use as a dev tool, and (eventually) target embeded devices that want to interact with files on IPFS (verification, and chunking), but not be a full cient.

Using wasm-pack on the [rust-cid](https://github.com/multiformats/rust-cid

) lib to get FAST cli and browser generation of CIDS without the need for a full IPFS client

Dependencies:

• Rust IPFS

• Rust Libp2p
