# Send Messages Using Waku Light Push
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Waku Light Push enables a client to receive a confirmation when sending a message.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Waku Relay protocol sends messages to connected peers but does not provide any information on whether said peers have received messages.
|
||||||
|
This can be an issue when facing potential connectivity issues.
|
||||||
|
For example, when the connection drops easily, or it is connected to a small number of relay peers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Waku Light Push allows a client to get a response from a remote peer when sending a message.
|
||||||
|
Note this only guarantees that the remote peer has received the message,
|
||||||
|
it cannot guarantee propagation to the network.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It also means weaker privacy properties as the remote peer knows the client is the originator of the message.
|
||||||
|
Whereas with Waku Relay, a remote peer would not know whether the client created or forwarded the message.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can find Waku Light Push's specifications on [Vac RFC](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/19/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Content Topic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before starting, you need to choose a _Content Topic_ for your dApp.
|
||||||
|
Check out the [how to choose a content topic guide](./choose_content_topic.md) to learn more about content topics.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this guide, we are using a single content topic: `/light-push-guide/1/guide/proto`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can install [js-waku](https://npmjs.com/package/js-waku) using your favorite package manager:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
npm install js-waku
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Create Waku Instance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to interact with the Waku network, you first need a Waku instance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
import { Waku } from 'js-waku';
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
const wakuNode = await Waku.create({ bootstrap: true });
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Passing the `bootstrap` option will connect your node to predefined Waku nodes.
|
||||||
|
If you want to bootstrap to your own nodes, you can pass an array of multiaddresses instead:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
import { Waku } from 'js-waku';
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
const waku = await Waku.create({
|
||||||
|
bootstrap: [
|
||||||
|
'/dns4/node-01.ac-cn-hongkong-c.wakuv2.test.statusim.net/tcp/443/wss/p2p/16Uiu2HAkvWiyFsgRhuJEb9JfjYxEkoHLgnUQmr1N5mKWnYjxYRVm',
|
||||||
|
'/dns4/node-01.do-ams3.wakuv2.test.statusim.net/tcp/443/wss/p2p/16Uiu2HAmPLe7Mzm8TsYUubgCAW1aJoeFScxrLj8ppHFivPo97bUZ'
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Wait to be connected
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the `bootstrap` option, it may take some time to connect to other peers.
|
||||||
|
To ensure that you have a light push peer available to send messages to,
|
||||||
|
use the following function:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
await waku.waitForConnectedPeer();
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The returned `Promise` will resolve once you are connected to a Waku peer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Send messages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can now send a message using Waku Light Push.
|
||||||
|
By default, it sends the messages to a single randomly selected light push peer.
|
||||||
|
The peer is selected among the dApp's connected peers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the dApp is not connected to any light push peer, an error is thrown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ts
|
||||||
|
import {WakuMessage} from 'js-waku';
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
const wakuMessage = await WakuMessage.fromUtf8String('Here is a message', `/light-push-guide/1/guide/proto`);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
const ack = await waku.lightPush.push(wakuMessage);
|
||||||
|
if (!ack?.isSuccess) {
|
||||||
|
// Message was not sent
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```

# JS-Waku Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In this section you will learn how what are js-waku's key API and how to use them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To learn more about a specific API, you can refer to the [API documentation]().
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Our [guides](guides) provide more detailed explanation of some Waku functionality and how they can be used with popular web frameworks.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Installation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install `js-waku` package:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell
|
|
||||||
npm install js-waku
|
|
||||||
# or with yarn
|
|
||||||
yarn add js-waku
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Start a waku node
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```ts
|
|
||||||
import { Waku } from 'js-waku';
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
const waku = await Waku.create({ bootstrap: true });
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Listen for messages
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The `contentTopic` is a metadata `string` that allows categorization of messages on the waku network.
|
|
||||||
Depending on your use case, you can either create one (or several) new `contentTopic`(s) or look at the [RFCs](https://rfc.vac.dev/) and use an existing `contentTopic`.
|
|
||||||
See [How to Choose a Content Topic](guides/choose_content_topic.md) for more details.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, if you were to use a new `contentTopic` such as `/my-cool-app/1/my-use-case/proto`,
|
|
||||||
here is how to listen to new messages received via [Waku v2 Relay](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```ts
|
|
||||||
waku.relay.addObserver((msg) => {
|
|
||||||
console.log("Message received:", msg.payloadAsUtf8)
|
|
||||||
}, ["/my-cool-app/1/my-use-case/proto"]);
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Send messages
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two ways to send messages:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Waku Relay
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Waku Relay](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/) is the most decentralized option,
|
|
||||||
peer receiving your messages are unlikely to know whether you are the originator or simply forwarding them.
|
|
||||||
However, it does not give you any delivery information.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```ts
|
|
||||||
import { WakuMessage } from 'js-waku';
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
const msg = await WakuMessage.fromUtf8String("Here is a message!", "/my-cool-app/1/my-use-case/proto")
|
|
||||||
await waku.relay.send(msg);
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Waku Light Push
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Waku Light Push](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/19/) gives you confirmation that the light push server node has
|
|
||||||
received your message.
|
|
||||||
However, it means that said node knows you are the originator of the message.
|
|
||||||
It cannot guarantee that the node will forward the message.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```ts
|
|
||||||
const ack = await waku.lightPush.push(message);
|
|
||||||
if (!ack?.isSuccess) {
|
|
||||||
// Message was not sent
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Retrieve archived messages
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [Waku v2 Store protocol](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/13/) enables more permanent nodes to store messages received via relay
|
|
||||||
and ephemeral clients to retrieve them (e.g. mobile phone resuming connectivity).
|
|
||||||
The protocol implements pagination meaning that it may take several queries to retrieve all messages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Query a waku store peer to check historical messages:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```ts
|
|
||||||
// Process messages once they are all retrieved
|
|
||||||
const messages = await waku.store.queryHistory(['/my-cool-app/1/my-use-case/proto']);
|
|
||||||
messages.forEach((msg) => {
|
|
||||||
console.log('Message retrieved:', msg.payloadAsUtf8);
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
// Or, pass a callback function to be executed as pages are received:
|
|
||||||
waku.store.queryHistory(['/my-cool-app/1/my-use-case/proto'], {
|
|
||||||
callback: (messages) => {
|
|
||||||
messages.forEach((msg) => {
|
|
||||||
console.log('Message retrieved:', msg.payloadAsUtf8);
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
```
