This library allows you to use the local IPFS daemon from Rust.
Usage
[dependencies]

Examples
Reading a file from IPFS
Here's an example that gets the contents of a file from IPFS and displays it.
let api = IpfsApi::new("127.0.0.1", 5001);
let bytes = api.cat("QmWATWQ7fVPP2EFGu71UkfnqhYXDYH566qy47CnJDgvs8u").unwrap();
let data = String::from_utf8(bytes.collect()).unwrap();
println!("{}", data);
The code gets the content of the IPFS hash and displays "Hello World".
Subsribing to messages on IPFS Pubsub
let api = IpfsApi::new("127.0.0.1", 5001);
let messages = api.pubsub_subscribe("chat").unwrap();
for message in messages {
println!("{:?}", message);
}
