Updates all deps needed to support passing lists of byte arrays where they have been created from multiple input buffers.
When reading multiplexed data, all messages arrive in length-prefixed buffers, which means the first few bytes tell the consumer how many bytes long next chunk will be.
One length prefixed chunk can be delivered in several payloads from the underlying network transport. The first payload can also include the length prefix and some or all of the data, so we stitch these together in a `Uint8ArrayList` to avoid having to concatenate `Uint8Array`s together.
Previously once we'd received enough bytes to satisfy the length prefix we'd concatenate the bytes together, but this is a potentially expensive operation where transports have small message sizes so instead just pass the `Uint8ArrayList` to the consumer and let them decide wether to concatenate or not as some consumers will be smart enough to operate on lists of `Uint8Array`s instead of always requiring a contiguous block of memory.
BREAKING CHANGE: Streams are now `Duplex<Uint8ArrayList, Uint8ArrayList | Uint8Array>`
- If a stream is opened that exceeds inbound/outbound limits, reset that stream (if it is incoming) or abort and throw (if it is outgoing)
- Make the error message more helpful (say which protocol has breached the limit)
- Increase the default stream limits so we don't trigger this by accident when a remote dials us with a protocol we don't support
Ensure that we don't wait forever for upgrading an inbound connection
to occur.
Note that transports should return an AbortableSource when passed an
AbortSignal so outbound connections to not need the same fix.
Also adds default timeouts for the ping, fetch, and identify protocols.
Now that we need to build ts to js a build step is necessary.
Add it to the instructions where we are telling people to clone the repo first.

* feat: limit protocol streams per-connection
Uses the `maxInboundStreams` and `maxOutboundStreams` of the `registrar.handle`
opts to limit the number of concurrent streams open on each connection
on a per-protocol basis.
Both values default to 1 so some tuning will be necessary to set
appropriate values for some protocols.
* chore: make error codes consistent
* chore: fix up examples
There are a few places in the codebase where we send/receive data from the network without timeouts/abort controllers which means the user has to wait for the underlying socket to timeout which can take a long time depending on the platform, if at all.
This change ensures we can time out while running identify (both flavours), ping and fetch and adds tests to ensure there are no regressions.
Instead of making the `.dht` and `.pubsub` properties optional, use dummy implementations that throw exceptions if they are not configured.
This way we don't have to null guard everywhere they are accessed.
Converts this module to typescript.
- Ecosystem modules renamed from (e.g.) `libp2p-tcp` to `@libp2p/tcp`
- Ecosystem module now have named exports
- Configuration has been updated, now pass instances of modules instead of classes:
- Some configuration keys have been renamed to make them more descriptive. `transport` -> `transports`, `connEncryption` -> `connectionEncryption`. In general where we pass multiple things, the key is now plural, e.g. `streamMuxer` -> `streamMuxers`, `contentRouting` -> `contentRouters`, etc. Where we are configuring a singleton the config key is singular, e.g. `connProtector` -> `connectionProtector` etc.
- Properties of the `modules` config key have been moved to the root
- Properties of the `config` config key have been moved to the root
```js
// before
import Libp2p from 'libp2p'
import TCP from 'libp2p-tcp'
await Libp2p.create({
modules: {
transport: [
TCP
],
}
config: {
transport: {
[TCP.tag]: {
foo: 'bar'
}
},
relay: {
enabled: true,
hop: {
enabled: true,
active: true
}
}
}
})
```
```js
// after
import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { TCP } from '@libp2p/tcp'
await createLibp2p({
transports: [
new TCP({ foo: 'bar' })
],
relay: {
enabled: true,
hop: {
enabled: true,
active: true
}
}
})
```
- Use of `enabled` flag has been reduced - previously you could pass a module but disable it with config. Now if you don't want a feature, just don't pass an implementation. Eg:
```js
// before
await Libp2p.create({
modules: {
transport: [
TCP
],
pubsub: Gossipsub
},
config: {
pubsub: {
enabled: false
}
}
})
```
```js
// after
await createLibp2p({
transports: [
new TCP()
]
})
```
- `.multiaddrs` renamed to `.getMultiaddrs()` because it's not a property accessor, work is done by that method to calculate announce addresses, observed addresses, etc
- `/p2p/${peerId}` is now appended to all addresses returned by `.getMultiaddrs()` so they can be used opaquely (every consumer has to append the peer ID to the address to actually use it otherwise). If you need low-level unadulterated addresses, call methods on the address manager.
BREAKING CHANGE: types are no longer hand crafted, this module is now ESM only
We have a peerstore that keeps all data for all observed peers in memory with no eviction.
This is fine when you don't discover many peers but when using the DHT you encounter a significant number of peers so our peer storage grows and grows over time.
We have a persistent peer store, but it just periodically writes peers into the datastore to be read at startup, still keeping them in memory.
It also means a restart doesn't give you any temporary reprieve from the memory leak as the previously observed peer data is read into memory at startup.
This change refactors the peerstore to use a datastore by default, reading and writing peer info as it arrives. It can be configured with a MemoryDatastore if desired.
It was necessary to change the peerstore and *book interfaces to be asynchronous since the datastore api is asynchronous.
BREAKING CHANGE: `libp2p.handle`, `libp2p.registrar.register` and the peerstore methods have become async
BREAKING CHANGES:
top level types were updated, multiaddr@9.0.0 is used, dialer and keychain internal property names changed and connectionManager minPeers is not supported anymore
