**Content Topic**: `/toy-chat/2/huilong/proto`.
|
|
|
|
This specification explains a toy chat example using Waku v2.
|
|
This protocol is mainly used to:
|
|
|
|
1. Dogfood Waku v2,
|
|
2. Show an example of how to use Waku v2.
|
|
|
|
Currently, all main Waku v2 implementations support the toy chat protocol:
|
|
[nim-waku](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/examples/v2/chat2.nim),
|
|
js-waku ([NodeJS](https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/tree/main/examples/cli-chat) and [web](https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/tree/main/examples/web-chat))
|
|
and [go-waku](https://github.com/status-im/go-waku/tree/master/examples/chat2).
|
|
|
|
Note that this is completely separate from the protocol the Status app is using for its chat functionality.
|
|
|
|
# Design
|
|
|
|
The chat protocol enables sending and receiving messages in a chat room.
|
|
There is currently only one chat room, which is tied to the content topic.
|
|
The messages SHOULD NOT be encrypted.
|
|
|
|
The `contentTopic` MUST be set to `/toy-chat/2/huilong/proto`.
|
|
|
|
# Payloads
|
|
|
|
```protobuf
|
|
syntax = "proto3";
|
|
|
|
message Chat2Message {
|
|
uint64 timestamp = 1;
|
|
string nick = 2;
|
|
bytes payload = 3;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `timestamp`: The time at which the message was sent, in Unix Epoch seconds,
|
|
- `nick`: The nickname of the user sending the message,
|
|
- `payload`: The text of the messages, UTF-8 encoded.
