What can I do with the hash returned by put

[marciok]

At the documentation there's the following:

const hash = await db.put({ _id: 'QmAwesomeIpfsHash', name: 'shamb0t', followers: 500 })

So a hash is returned when I insert a new document, let's say if I want to find the inserted documented by its hash how could I do it? When I try to find it using cat nothing is returned.

I want that to store that hash on ethereum and be able to access it

Thanks is advance.

Hi @marciok. I'm not sure of the timing, but we'v e recently switched to IPLD so if you try the ipfs.dag.get command, you might have better luck.
