Error: No resolver found for codec "dag-json" (and dag-cbor)

[ben221199]

• OS: Windows
• Version of IPFS Desktop: 0.20.5

Describe the bug
Not all codecs supported by the IPFS command-line are supported by IPFS desktop. See screenshot. It only shows dag-json but also json and some other codecs show the same error.

When making a CID using ipfs dag put someData.json --store-codec=dag-json, I get a CIDv1. Strange enough, dag-json is not in the list of ipfs cid codecs, but supported by ipfs dag put. When copying the received CID to IPFS Desktop, I get error from the screenshot that there is no resolver found for the codec.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ipfs cid codecs
2. notepad someData.json and add some JSON data
3. ipfs dag put someData.json --store-codec=dag-json
4. Copy the received CID to IPFS Desktop and inspect it.
5. See error

Expected behavior
IPFS Desktop recognises that the CID is dag-json, so it should also view information about the content.

Screenshots

Additional context
None.

Thank you for filling this.

• ipfs dag CLI is being fixed in Use standard IPLD codec names across the CLI/HTTP API kubo#8471
  • tl;dr the source of truth is https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec/blob/master/table.csv
• The error from screenshot comes from ipfs-webui/ipld-explorer.
  • I'm moving it to ipfs-webui.

@hacdias mind taking a look if we can add support for dag-json (and dag-cbor) CIDs?

• Supporting them will become critical when Gateway support for dag-json and dag-cbor responses kubo#8823 lands in go-ipfs 0.14.
• We won't be able to open them as filesystem, so "Browse" should be inactive for them, or open the same view as "Inspect" (ipld-explorer)
