To create a new IPFS app, you may choose one of the following methods:
npx create-ipfs-app my-ipfs-app --web3 WEB3_STORAGE_API_TOKENyarn create ipfs-app my-ipfs-app --moralis MORALIS_WEB3_API_KEYnpm install -g create-ipfs-app
create-ipfs-app my-ipfs-app --pinata PINATA_API_KEY:PINATA_API_SECRET--web3 WEB3_STORAGE_API_TOKEN--moralis MORALIS_WEB3_API_KEY--pinata PINATA_API_KEY:PINATA_API_SECRET--filebase FILEBASE_API_KEY:FILEBASE_API_SECRET:FILEBASE_BUCKET_NAME
Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:
cd my-ipfs-appInside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Runs the app in development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
Runs the test watcher in an interactive mode.
By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit.

Your app is ready to be deployed.

.envfile at the root of project:MORALIS="MORALIS.IO WEB3_API_KEY"PINATA="PINATA.CLOUD API_KEY:API_SECRET"WEB3="WEB3.STORAGE API_TOKEN"FILEBASE="FILEBASE.COM API_KEY:API_SECRET:BUCKET_NAME"
- Add scripts to package.json:
"deploy:moralis": "ipfs-scripts moralis""deploy:pinata": "ipfs-scripts pinata""deploy:web3": "ipfs-scripts web3""deploy:filebase": "ipfs-scripts filebase"
