Description
The browser will currently always download assets for Model Viewer from some configurable IPFS gateway. This is because Model Viewer needs to be given a src
attribute with the location of the GLB file.
There are cases when loading an asset from a local IPFS node would be better. This may be a better route than using a public gateway if the asset is already stored locally. This could either be done:
js-ipfs
node is running in browser and has the content. Can be fetched via a service worker running a gateway. See https://github.com/ipfs-examples/js-ipfs-browser-service-worker- Some other local IPFS node (Brave, IPFS Desktop, etc) has the content and is running a gateway. This is when
ipfs-provider
is using an HTTP client
The browser also appears to cache assets using normal HTTP caching. So it is unclear how much benefit this approach would really have.
