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

## Background
|
|
|
|
libp2p is the product of a long and arduous quest to understand the evolution of the Internet networking stack. In order to build P2P applications, devs have long had to make custom ad-hoc solutions to fit their needs, sometimes making some hard assumptions about their runtimes and the state of the network at the time of their development. Today, looking back more than 20 years, we see a clear pattern in the types of mechanisms built around the Internet Protocol, IP, which can be found throughout many layers of the OSI layer system, libp2p distils these mechanisms into flat categories and defines clear interfaces that once exposed, enable other protocols and applications to use and swap them, enabling upgradability and adaptability for the runtime, without breaking the API.

We are in the process of writing better documentation, blog posts, tutorials and a formal specification. Today you can find:

|
|
|
|
To sum up, libp2p is a "network stack" -- a protocol suite -- that cleanly separates concerns, and enables sophisticated applications to only use the protocols they absolutely need, without giving up interoperability and upgradeability. libp2p grew out of IPFS, but it is built so that lots of people can use it, for lots of different projects.

## Contribute
|
|
|
|
The libp2p implementation in JavaScript is a work in progress. As such, there are a few things you can do right now to help out:
|
|
|
|
- Go through the modules and **check out existing issues**. This would be especially useful for modules in active development. Some knowledge of IPFS/libp2p may be required, as well as the infrastructure behind it - for instance, you may need to read up on p2p and more complex operations like muxing to be able to help technically.
|
|
- **Perform code reviews**. Most of this has been developed by @diasdavid, which means that more eyes will help a) speed the project along b) ensure quality and c) reduce possible future bugs.
|
|
- **Add tests**. There can never be enough tests.
