Feature: Programmatic way to re-initialise repo

Open TheDiscordian opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Sometimes the repo corrupts, or can't be migrated (like here), and it needs to be manually deleted. This can be quite unintuitive for a user, and if a programmer wanted to handle it, I believe right now it'd be easiest to just create a new repo with a new name.

What I'm proposing is a function like IPFS.remove(repo string) so the error could be caught and handled, with the repo able to be easily removed if necessary.

This could be useful porcelain in browser context, but low priority.

@BigLep unfortunately I forgot! (I took on 3 ideas apparently, but I did make one of them :sweat_smile:)

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336 and read the migration guide.

Please feel to reopen with any comments by 2023-06-02. We will do a final pass on reopened issues afterward (see https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336).

Helia is not sharing ipfs configuration with Kubo AFAIK, Helia docs to confirm!
