How to create an IPFS compatible multihash

Question

I\'m trying to create an IPFS compatible mutihash but it is not matching. I am asking here because I have not yet found an example that takes this from hashing to the end r

Answer 1

The simplest way currently is to simply use ipfs-http-client. All above previous solutions in this thread don't work for me anymore.

import ipfsClient from "ipfs-http-client";
const ipfs = ipfsClient(IPFS_PROVIDER, "5001", { protocol: "https" });

// onlyHash: true only generates the hash and doesn't upload the file
const hash = (await ipfs.add(new Buffer(vuln), { onlyHash: true }))[0].hash
