A simple text chat in React (Typescript) powered by Waku (a P2P protocol)

Simple chat using Waku protocol

Elementary chat sends and receives messages from the other peers connected to the same topic and you who is online in real time.

Steps to run the chat

1. Install the packages running the following command on the terminal npm i.
2. Open two terminals.
3. From the root of the project, run npm start on each of the two terminals.
4. Open two tabs on the browser:
   1. The first one opening http://localhost:3000
   2. The second one opening http://localhost:3001
5. You can chat.

To-do

• Save messages in the local storage only during the session of the user.
• After some time (15 minutes), delete the oldest online users.

Resources

• Waku's specifications https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/10/
• The code is an improvement of https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/blob/master/examples/relay-reactjs-chat/ (also in Waku Connect's docs). We improve the methods for sending different kind of data (e.g. messages, online users...) in the Waku protocol.
