hey its a little confusing that the docs for get: say "store" - I think they are wrong?

[gvelez17]

At https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/packages/ipfs-core-types/src/dag/index.ts#L52

it says "Store an IPLD format node". and the example is "const cid = await ipfs.dag.put(obj, { storeCodec: 'dag-cbor', hashAlg: 'sha2-512' })"

I suppose the options are the same for get but when you are starting it is a little confusing - is this right?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

storeCodec is how the passed object will be encoded in the block that is ultimately added to your local node's repo. This is different to inputCodec which can be used to interpret the passed object - see the ipfs.dag.put docs - https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/docs/core-api/DAG.md#options-1

The options for ipfs.dag.get are different, there's no storeCodec/inputCodec because you are reading a block from the repo and the codec is either held in the CID (for v1 CIDs) or implicit dag-pb (for v0 CIDs).

If you think the comment can be improved, please open a PR!
