Communication channel between two peers over IPFS Pubsub
Work in progress!
ipfs-pubsub-1on1 is a 1-to-1 communication channel over IPFS Pubsub. It enables two peers to exchange messages between each other.
// Include as lib
const Channel = require('ipfs-pubsub-1on1')
// Create IPFS instance somewhow
const ipfs = ...
// IPFS peer ID of the peer to connect to
const friendId = 'QmP9TWCAsHLs6a3hcCbqE6WZs3VhQF6QsmkFPAFmmcuMa6'
// Open a channel with the other peer
const channel = await Channel.open(ipfs, friendId)
// Explicitly wait for peers to connect
await channel.connect()
// Process messages from the other peer
channel.on('message', (message) => {
console.log("Message from", message.from, message)
})For more usage examples, see the tests
