Examples

Chat app

A node chat app is provided as a working example of the library. It is interoperable with the nim-waku chat app example. To run the chat app:

npm install
npm run chat:app -- --staticNode /ip4/134.209.139.210/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAmPLe7Mzm8TsYUubgCAW1aJoeFScxrLj8ppHFivPo97bUZ

You can also specify an optional listenAddr parameter (.e.g --listenAddr /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/55123). This is only useful if you want a remote node to dial to your chat app, it is not necessary in normal usage when you just connect to the fleet.

Contributing

To build and test this repository, you need:

To ensure interoperability with nim-waku, some tests are run against a nim-waku node. This is why nim-waku is present as a git submodule, which itself contain several submodules. At this stage, it is not possible to exclude nim-waku tests, hence git submodule update --init --recursive is run before testing (see pretest script).

To build nim-waku, you also need Rust.
