How to use IPFS from a Javascript application without starting ipfs node?

I have a javascript application (ReactJs) that will work as a hybrid Android application on mobile devices. I do not want to run the full IPFS node on the mobile device, because it will consume a lot of its memory and energy. How can I connect my application to IPFS and then?

I saw https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-api#importing-the-module-and-usage , but it does not look usable by the mobile device again since it works as a shared service.

Maybe I need to connect to some IPFS node on the Internet through the IPFS API ( https://ipfs.io/docs/api/ ), however is there a way to detect running nodes at runtime, and also choose the fastest / closest?

Here you have several options:

  • You can host IPFS node in some cloud and connect all your mobile devices to it.
  • Launch the js-ipfsnode instance when you need it, and then garbage collects it.
