addFromFS
An addFromFs functionality would be very useful (similar in functionality to the addFromFS functionality from the js-ipfs-http-client: https://github.com/ipfs/interface-js-ipfs-core/blob/master/SPEC/FILES.md#addfromfs
I'm not sure how challenging this would be as I haven't dove too much into this library's codebase, but having the ability to add directories directly to cluster (though something like this) would be awesome.
Seems like it can be done, but that would need me to poke into the Ipfs http endpoints. @hsanjuan what are your thoughts? Should we do that?
What's your usecase @obo20 ? Thinking this library is mostly for use in browser environments and in that case I'm not sure addFromFS helps. Do you have server-side javascript that you would use this with?
@hsanjuan @vasa-develop The use case is for nodeJS environments, but upon further research it appears that I can just use the IPFS proxy functionality of IPFS-cluster to accomplish this. As such I wouldn't consider this issue super urgent. More of a nice to have.
It should not be difficult to get, there are no differences on how files/folders are sent to ipfs and cluster (only perhaps the query options of the request and the response type). @vasa-develop I think it's worth having.
