npm run build # Build js-waku

CLI Chat App (NodeJS)

A node chat app is provided as a working example of the library. It is interoperable with the nim-waku chat app example. To run the chat app, first ensure you have Node.js v14 or above:

node --version

Then, install and run:

git clone https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/ ; cd js-waku
npm install   # Install dependencies for js-waku
npm run build # Build js-waku
cd examples/cli-chat
npm install # Install dependencies for the cli app
npm run start -- --staticNode /ip4/134.209.139.210/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAmPLe7Mzm8TsYUubgCAW1aJoeFScxrLj8ppHFivPo97bUZ

You can also specify an optional listenAddr parameter (.e.g --listenAddr /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/7777/ws). This is only useful if you want a remote node to dial to your chat app, it is not necessary in normal usage when you just connect to the fleet.
