# 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
git checkout v0.0.1
go install ./...
cd ..
```
# 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\chat.nim
```
This will output a peer ID such as `QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu` which you can use in another instance to connect to it.
```bash
./example/chat
/connect QmbmHfVvouKammmQDJck4hz33WvVktNEe7pasxz2HgseRu
```
You can now chat between the instances!
