# Introduction
|
|
This is a libp2p-backed daemon wrapping the functionalities of go-libp2p for use in Nim. <br>
|
|
For more information about the go daemon, check out [this repository](https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-daemon).
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
```sh
|
|
# clone and install dependencies
|
|
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p
|
|
cd nim-libp2p
|
|
nimble install
|
|
|
|
# perform unit tests
|
|
nimble test
|
|
|
|
# update the git submodule to install the go daemon
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
|
go version
|
|
git clone https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-daemon
|
|
cd go-libp2p-daemon

# Usage
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
Examples can be found in the [examples folder](https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p/tree/readme/examples/go-daemon)
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
Try out the chat example. Full code can be found [here](https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p/blob/master/examples/chat.nim):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nim c -r --threads:on examples/directchat.nim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will output a peer ID such as `QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu` which you can use in another instance to connect to it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./examples/directchat
|
|
/connect QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now chat between the instances!
