Methods
pin(policy)
Pin a policy document to IPFS. The policy is serialized to JSON and pinned to all configured backends.
Returns:
Promise<string> — The IPFS CID
The client pins to all backends in parallel for redundancy. The CID is deterministic — the same policy always produces the same CID.
get(cid)
Retrieve and parse a policy from IPFS.
Returns:
Promise<Policy>
The client tries each backend in order until one succeeds. The retrieved JSON is validated against the Policy schema.
unpin(cid)
Unpin a policy from all backends.
Returns:
Promise<void>
cidFromPolicy(policy)
Calculate the CID for a policy without pinning it. Useful for checking if a policy is already pinned.
Returns:
Promise<string> — The IPFS CID
