TypeError: node.add is not a function

[birbird]

Simplely run this example https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/ipfs-101

My index.js is

const IPFS = require('ipfs')

const node = new IPFS()

node.on('ready', async () => {
  const version = await node.version()

  console.log('Version:', version.version)

  const filesAdded = await node.add({
    path: 'hello.txt',
    content: Buffer.from('Hello World 101')
  })

  console.log('Added file:', filesAdded[0].path, filesAdded[0].hash)
})

The output is

I think the right way should be

node.files.add

@birbird thanks for taking the time to report this.

The examples in master have been updated to reflect the API in the upcoming release ipfs.files.add is the current (soon to be old API).
