Error with adding iroh-blobs with rpc

[ppmpreetham]

Everytime I try using:

cargo add iroh-blobs --features rpc

I get the following issue:

    Updating crates.io index
      Adding iroh-blobs v0.90.0 to dependencies
error: unrecognized feature for crate iroh-blobs: rpc

I suspect you're trying to go through iroh's https://www.iroh.computer/docs/quickstart guide.

Sorry, we haven't updated that to the newest version of iroh-blobs yet! Try installing iroh-blobs version 0.35 and iroh version 0.35, and it'll work.

The new version (0.90) is a sort-of pre-1.0 alpha that was reworked.

As @matheus23 said, blobs 0.90 is the first milestone on the way to blobs 1.0 and as such not yet production quality.

But if you want to use it, one of the main benefits is that you no longer need a feature - default or non default, to enjoy the friendly api, like you did in blobs <= 0.35.

Here are 2 blog posts about the new features etc.:

Here's a preview of the quickstart updated for the new version: https://iroh-computer-git-matheus23-update-quickstart-number-0.vercel.app/docs/quickstart

But it's still blocked on #105 merging, as that's a required bugfix.
