This is the contract code.

      pragma solidity ^0.4.2;

     contract SimpleStorage {
           uint storedData;
           function set(uint x) {
                          storedData = x;
           }
           function get() constant returns (uint retVal) {
                          return storedData;
           }
    }

This is the javascript code used (index.js)

        var addToLog = function(txt) {
              $(".logs").append("<br>" + txt);
        };

        $(document).ready(function() {

              $("button.set").click(function() {
              var value = parseInt($("input.text").val(), 10);
              SimpleStorage.set(value);
              addToLog("SimpleStorage.set(" + value + ")");
       });

       $("button.get").click(function() {
              SimpleStorage.get().then(function(value) {
                 $(".value").html(value.toNumber());
             });
             addToLog("SimpleStorage.get()");
     });

   });

This is the code for html file(index.html)

              <html>
              <head>
                <title>Embark - SimpleStorage Demo</title>

             </head>
             <body class="container">
                 <h3>Embark - SimpleStorage Demo</h3>

I am trying to integrate ipfs for storing 'x' in ipfs.I am using embark framework for developing the dapp.

I have installed ipfs-api using npm as follows.

         npm install --save ipfs-api                                     

Then i have updated the above index.js with following lines

           var ipfsAPI = require('ipfs-api')

           // connect to ipfs daemon API server
           var ipfs = ipfsAPI('localhost', '5001', {protocol: 'http'})

what are the further modifications required in index.js and index.html files for storing and retrieving the value using ipfs?

As per the documentation

  1. Set the provider:

    EmbarkJS.Messages.setProvider('orbit', {server: 'localhost', port: 5001})

  2. Saving Text

    EmbarkJS.Storage.saveText("hello world").then(function(hash) {});

  3. Retrieving Data/Text

    EmbarkJS.Storage.get(hash).then(function(content) {});

Deploying to IPFS

To deploy a dapp to IPFS, all you need to do is run a local IPFS node and then run embark ipfs. If you want to deploy to the livenet then after configuring you account on config/blockchain.json on the production environment then you can deploy to that chain by specifying the environment embark ipfs production.

EDIT from @iurimatias: A small note: as of 2.2.0 to upload to ipfs the new command is embark upload ipfs also setting the provider is needed: EmbarkJS.Storage.setProvider('ipfs',{server: 'localhost', port: '5001'})
