How to create directory to IPFS by using "ipfs-http-client"?

Question

Now I am trying to create new directory to ipfs by using "ipfs-http-client"? const auth = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(projectId + ':' + projectSecret).toString('base64') const ipfs = new ipfsAPI({ host: 'ipfs.infura.io', port: 5001, protocol: 'https', headers: { authorization: auth } }); ipfs.files.mkdir("/myfolder");

but I have got error."ipfs method not supported". Did anyone see that in the past?

It looks like you were trying to use some outdated version of the module, try this code, it worked for me:

import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client'
const auth = 'Basic' + Buffer.from('projectId' + ':' + 'secret').toString('base64');
const ipfs = create({host: 'ipfs.infura.io', port: 5001, protocol: 'https', headers: { authorization: auth } });
let result = await ipfs.files.mkdir("/myfolder");
