# cli
## chat
A basic CLI to pass messages between peers using `stdin`/`stdout`
* Install dependencies:
```bash
yarn install
```
* Build the `peer` package:
```
cd packages/peer
yarn build
```
* (Optional) Create and export a peer id for the relay node:
```bash
# 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:
```bash
# 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:
```bash
# 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`.
