# js-waku
|
|
|
|
A JavaScript implementation of the [Waku v2 protocol](https://specs.vac.dev/specs/waku/v2/waku-v2).
|
|
|
|
## This is a Work In Progress
|
|
|
|
You can track progress on the [project board](https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/projects/1).
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/blob/master/examples/v2/chat2.nim).
|
|
To run the chat app:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
- [Node.js & npm](https://nodejs.org/en/)
|
|
- [bufbuild](https://github.com/bufbuild/buf)
|
|
- [protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/)
|
|
|
|
To ensure interoperability with [nim-waku](https://github.com/status-im/nim-waku/), some tests are run against a nim-waku node.
|
|
This is why `nim-waku` is present as a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules), 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](https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/blob/main/package.json)).
|
|
|
|
To build nim-waku, you also need [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).
