nim-libp2p

Introduction

An implementation of libp2p in Nim, as a wrapper of the Libp2p Go daemon.

Note that you need Go 1.12+ for the below instructions to work!

Install dependencies and run tests with:

nimble install
nimble test
git submodule update --init --recursive
go version
git clone https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-daemon
cd go-libp2p-daemon
git checkout v0.0.1
go install ./...
cd ..

Try out the chat example:

nim c -r --threads:on examples\chat.nim

This will output a peer ID such as QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu which you can use in another instance to connect to it.

./example/chat
/connect QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu

You can now chat between the instances!
