This is a Work In Progress

You can track progress on the project board.

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 --listenAddr /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/55123

The --listenAddr parameter is optional, however NAT passthrough is not yet supported, so you'll need the listening port to be open to receive messages from 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.
