 1 | ## An example of how to pin a file to IPFS with Pinata in a JavaScript app
 2 | 
 3 | If you're like me and had no luck finding any examples or code to show how this is done, then hopefully this will help you.
 4 | 
 5 | ### Pinning a string
 6 | 
 7 | ```javascript
 8 | async function save() {
 9 |   let ipfs = await IPFS.create({
10 |     url: "https://api.pinata.cloud/psa",
11 |     repo: 'file-path' + Math.random()
12 |   })
13 |   const { cid } = await ipfs.add('hello world')
14 |   const url = `https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/${cid.string}`
15 |   console.log(url)
16 | }
17 | ```
18 | 
19 | ### Pinning a file
20 | 
21 | ```javascript
22 | async function onChange(e) {
23 |   const file = e.target.files[0]
24 |   let ipfs = await IPFS.create({
25 |     url: "https://api.pinata.cloud/psa",
26 |     repo: 'file-path' + Math.random()
27 |   })
28 |   const { cid } = await ipfs.add(file)
29 |   const url = `https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/${cid.string}`
30 |   console.log(url)
31 | }
32 | ```
