JS-IPFS/Browserify on Web Server

Help

Although the Browserify Example works like a charm when the files are stored locally, it has issues when index.html and bundle.js are fetched from a remote web server.

  • Chrome/Opera give this error:

bundle.js:101706 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘generateKey’ of undefined

  • Firefox works!
  • Edge fails silently.
  • On Android, Chrome/Firefox/Opera are not working either.

Is there a tweak i am missing?

maybe this thread can be help : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'generateKey' of undefined · Issue #964 · ipfs/js-ipfs · GitHub for chrome.

that’s caused by browser certain are not implemented webCrypto et for that you need to use a polyfill and third party library.
