Node.js implementation of the TCP module that libp2p uses, which implements the interface-connection interface for dial/listen.
libp2p-tcp
in Node.js is a very thin shim that adds support for dialing to a
multiaddr
. This small shim will enable libp2p to use other different
transports.
const Tcp = require('libp2p-tcp')
const multiaddr = require('multiaddr')
const mh1 = multiaddr('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9090')
const mh2 = multiaddr('/ip6/::/tcp/9092')
const tcp = new Tcp()
tcp.createListener([mh1, mh2], function handler (socket) {
console.log('connection')
socket.end('bye')
}, function ready () {
console.log('ready')
const client = tcp.dial(mh1)
client.pipe(process.stdout)
client.on('end', () => {
tcp.close()
})
})
outputs
ready

bye
> npm i libp2p-tcp
const Tcp = require('libp2p-tcp')
Creates a new TCP object. This does nothing on its own, but provides access to
dial
and createListener
.
Creates TCP servers that listen on the addresses described in the array
multiaddrs
. Each connection will call handler
with a connection stream.
ready
is called once all servers are listening.
Connects to the multiaddress multiaddr
using TCP, returning the socket stream.
If options.ready
is set to a function, it is called when a connection is
established.
Closes all the listening TCP servers, calling callback
once all of them have
been shut down.
