+# Bundle js-ipfs with [Parcel.js](https://parceljs.org/)
+
+> In this example, you will find a boilerplate application that connects to
+IPFS using JS-IPFS and is bundled with [Parcel.js](https://parceljs.org/), so
+that you can follow it for creating Parcel.js bundled js-ipfs DApps.
+
+## Before you start
+
+1. Start your IPFS daemon of choice e.g. `ipfs daemon` (optional if you do not
+want to serve the example over IPFS)
+1. Open a new terminal
+1. `cd` into this folder
+1. Run `npm install`
+
+## Running this example in development mode with auto-reloading
+
+1. `npm start`
+1. Open your browser at `http://localhost:1234`
+
+You should see the following:
+
+![](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSiZ18GffagbbJ3z72kK7u3SP9MXqBB1vrU1KFYP3GMYs/1.png)
+
+## Build and add to IPFS
+
+1. Clear the contents of `dist` if this is not the first time you are building
+e.g. `rm -r dist` on a unix system
+1. `npm run build`
+1. The production build of the site is now in the `dist` folder
+1. Add the folder to ipfs using your IPFS client of choice e.g.
+`ipfs add -r dist`
+
+The last hash output is the hash of the directory.  This can be used to access
+this example served over IPFS and will be accessible by a public gateway:
+
+> https://ipfs.io/ipfs/<hash_of_directory>/
