Building large scale peer-to-peer systems has been complex and difficult in the last 15 years, and libp2p is a way to fix that. It 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. @@ -60,60 +59,18 @@ We will be writing a set of docs, posts, tutorials, and talks to explain what p2 | [`libp2p-webrtc-star`](//github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star) | [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/libp2p-webrtc-star.svg?maxAge=86400&style=flat-square)](//github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star/releases) | [![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star.svg?style=flat-square)](https://david-dm.org/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star) | [![devDependency Status](https://david-dm.org/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star/dev-status.svg?style=flat-square)](https://david-dm.org/libp2p/js-libp2p-webrtc-star?type=dev) | | [`multistream-select`](//github.com/diasdavid/js-multistream) | [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/multistream-select.svg?maxAge=86400&style=flat-square)](//github.com/diasdavid/js-multistream/releases) | [![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/diasdavid/js-multistream.svg?style=flat-square)](https://david-dm.org/diasdavid/js-multistream) | [![devDependency Status](https://david-dm.org/diasdavid/js-multistream/dev-status.svg?style=flat-square)](https://david-dm.org/diasdavid/js-multistream?type=dev) | -### Notes - -Img for ref (till we get a better graph) - -![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1211152/9450620/a02e3a9c-4aa1-11e5-83fd-cd996a0a4b6f.png) - ## Install ```sh -npm i --save libp2p +npm install --save libp2p ``` ## Usage > **This is a work in progress. The interface might change at anytime.** -libp2p expects a [Record Store interface](https://github.com/diasdavid/abstract-record-store), a swarm and one or more Peer Routers that implement the [Peer Routing](https://github.com/diasdavid/abstract-peer-routing), the goal is to keep simplicity and plugability while the remaining modules execute the heavy lifting. - libp2p becomes very simple and basically acts as a glue for every module that compose this library. Since it can be highly customized, it requires some setup. What we recommend is to have a libp2p build for the system you are developing taking into account in your needs (e.g. for a browser working version of libp2p that acts as the network layer of IPFS, we have a built and minified version that browsers can require) -### Setting everything up - -```js -var Libp2p = require('libp2p') - -// set up a Swarm, Peer Routing and Record Store instances, the last two are optional - -var p2p = new Libp2p(swarm, [peerRouting, recordStore]) -``` - -### Dialing and listening - -```js -p2p.swarm.dial(peerInfo, options, protocol, function (err, stream) {}) -p2p.swarm.handleProtocol(protocol, options, handlerFunction) -``` - -### Using Peer Routing - -```js -p2p.routing.findPeers(key, function (err, peerInfos) {}) -``` - -### Using Records - -```js -p2p.record.get(key, function (err, records) {}) -p2p.record.store(key, record) -``` - -### Stats - -TODO - ## Contribute THe libp2p implementation in JavaScript is a work in progress.
