chat

A basic CLI to pass messages between peers using stdin/stdout

  • Install dependencies:

    yarn install
    
  • Build the peer package:

    cd packages/peer
    yarn build
    
  • (Optional) Create and export a peer id for the relay node:

    # In packages/peer
    yarn create-peer --file [PEER_ID_FILE_PATH]
    
    • file (f): file path to export the peer id to (json) (default: logs to console)
  • (Optional) Run a local relay node:

    # In packages/peer
    yarn relay-node --host [LISTEN_HOST] --port [LISTEN_PORT] --announce [ANNOUNCE_DOMAIN] --peer-id-file [PEER_ID_FILE_PATH] --relay-peers [RELAY_PEERS_FILE_PATH]
    
    • host (h): host to bind to (default: 127.0.0.1)
    • port (p): port to start listening on (default: 9090)
    • announce (a): domain name to be used in the announce address
    • peer-id-file (f): file path for peer id to be used (json)
    • relay-peers (r): file path for relay peer multiaddr(s) to dial on startup (json)
  • Start the node:

    # In packages/cli
    yarn chat --relay-multiaddr <RELAY_MULTIADDR> --max-connections [MAX_CONNECTIONS] --dial-timeout [DIAL_TIMEOUT] --max-relay-connections [MAX_RELAY_CONNECTIONS] --peer-id-file [PEER_ID_FILE_PATH] --enable-debug-info [ENABLE_DEBUG_INFO]
    
    • relay-multiaddr (r): multiaddr of a primary hop enabled relay node
    • max-connections: max number of connections for this peer
    • dial-timeout: timeout for dial to peers (ms)
    • max-relay-connections: max number of relay node connections for this peer
    • peer-id-file (f): file path for peer id to be used (json)
    • enable-debug-info: Whether to broadcast node's info over pubsub on request
  • The process starts reading from stdin and outputs messages from others peers over the /chat/1.0.0 protocol to stdout.
