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:

git clone https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/ ; cd js-waku
npm install
npm run chat -- --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.

Build & Test

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.
