Libp2p-Examples

This repo uses LibP2P library to showcase some use case examples of LibP2P. LibP2P has many functions and it can be quite challenging to simply know when to use what functions. In the code, I have commented every function extensively so that it can help people with their learning process so that they can use LibP2P in their own programs.
Basic node functionalitis are in basicNode.go and all the others have corresponding names.

Heartbeat

In heartbeat protocol , I showcase the simplest use case of libp2p which is to have one node send one message to another node and the other node replies back with some message.

Payment

in payment protocol, I showcase how two separate protocols can get multiplexed to a single node. I also show how JSON-like messages can get transfered between nodes. Here , I show the best practice on how to deal with data encoding, decoding and reading and writing to strings.

Sync

in sync protocol, I show how one can use a coded such as cbor to request for file transfer from another node.
