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
Private Networking
This example shows how to set up a private network of libp2p nodes.
Setup
- Install the modules in the libp2p root directory,
npm install.
Run
Running the example will cause two nodes with the same swarm key to be started and exchange basic information.
node index.js
Using different keys
This example includes TASK comments that can be used to try the example with different swarm keys. This will
allow you to see how nodes will fail to connect if they are on different private networks and try to connect to
one another.
To change the swarm key of one of the nodes, look through index.js for comments starting with TASK to indicate
where lines are that pertain to changing the swarm key of node 2.
Exploring the repos
Once you've run the example you can take a look at the repos in the ./tmp directory to see how they differ, including
the swarm keys. You should see a swarm.key file in each of the repos and when the nodes are on the same private network
this contents of the swarm.key files should be the same.
