Hello, guys.  
Few month ago I add ipfs for upload files, all worked correctly, but a week ago I have problem and can’t resolve it.  
I try to send file to IPFS and get hash of file.

like this.  
connect ipfs :

```
  ipfs = await Ipfs.create({
      config: {
        Bootstrap: [
          '/dns4/ams-1.bootstrap.libp2p.io/tcp/443/wss/ipfs/QmSoLer265NRgSp2LA3dPaeykiS1J6DifTC88f5uVQKNAd',
          '/dns4/lon-1.bootstrap.libp2p.io/tcp/443/wss/ipfs/QmSoLMeWqB7YGVLJN3pNLQpmmEk35v6wYtsMGLzSr5QBU3',
          '/dns4/sfo-3.bootstrap.libp2p.io/tcp/443/wss/ipfs/QmSoLPppuBtQSGwKDZT2M73ULpjvfd3aZ6ha4oFGL1KrGM',
          '/dns4/node0.preload.ipfs.io/tcp/443/wss/ipfs/QmZMxNdpMkewiVZLMRxaNxUeZpDUb34pWjZ1kZvsd16Zic',
          '/dns4/node1.preload.ipfs.io/tcp/443/wss/ipfs/Qmbut9Ywz9YEDrz8ySBSgWyJk41Uvm2QJPhwDJzJyGFsD6'
        ]
      }
    });

    console.timeEnd('IPFS Started');

```

and try to send file

```
  const {ipfs, ipfsInitError} = useIpfs({commands: ['id']});
  const addToIpfs = async (file) => {
    const hashOfFile = await ipfs.add(file);

    return hashOfFile[0].path;
};

```

so, when I try to upload, I have error

> Unhandled Rejection (TypeError): undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘hashOfFile[0].path’)

in hashOfFile return function  
AsyncGenerator {\_invoke: function, next: function, throw: function, return: function, Symbol(Symbol.asyncIterator): function}

earlier it was hash of file.

could you help me?

on GitHub I have answer

> ```
> Previously ipfs.add returned an array, which was great, unless you were adding a lot of files in which case your process could run out of memory. Now it returns an async iterator as you've found.

> n.b. you don’t need to do the double await:

```auto
// instead of
for await (const inputFile of await ipfs.add({ path: 'randompath.txt', content: file })) {

// do:
for await (const inputFile of ipfs.add({ path: 'randompath.txt', content: file })) 

```

it work, but still problem in Safari - crash

```auto
    Unhandled Rejection (TypeError): null is not an object (evaluating 'ipfs.add')

```
