Rust IPFS implementation

Currently implements an altruistic bitswap strategy over mdns.

Known issues

• The mdns implementation of go-ipfs and js-ipfs aren't compatible with rust-libp2p.
• Locating providers via kademlia dht doesn't work.

Getting started

use futures::prelude::*;
use ipfs::{Block, Ipfs, IpfsOptions};

fn main() {
    let options = IpfsOptions::new();
    env_logger::Builder::new().parse(&options.ipfs_log).init();
    let mut ipfs = Ipfs::new(options);
    let block = Block::from("hello block2\n");
    ipfs.put_block(block);
    let cid = Block::from("hello block\n").cid();
    let future = ipfs.get_block(cid).map(|block| {
        println!("Received block with contents: '{}'",
                 String::from_utf8_lossy(&block.data()));
    });
    tokio::run(ipfs.join(future).map(|_| ()));
}
