Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ipfs-pubsub-room

made by Protocol Labs Freenode Build Status

Creates a room based on a LibP2P pub-sub channel. Emits membership events, listens for messages, broadcast and direct messeges to peers.

(Demo video)

Install

$ npm install ipfs-pubsub-room

Use

Creating a pubsub room from a LibP2P node

const Room = require('ipfs-pubsub-room')
const Libp2p = require('libp2p')

const libp2p = new Libp2p({ ... })
await libp2p.start()

// libp2p node is ready, so we can start using ipfs-pubsub-room
const room = Room(libp2p, 'room-name')

Creating a pubsub room from an IPFS node

const Room = require('ipfs-pubsub-room')
const IPFS = require('ipfs')

const ipfs = await IPFS.create({ ... })
const room = Room(ipfs, 'room-name')

Once we have a room we can listen for messages

room.on('peer joined', (peer) => {
  console.log('Peer joined the room', peer)
})

room.on('peer left', (peer) => {
  console.log('Peer left...', peer)
})

// now started to listen to room
room.on('subscribed', () => {
  console.log('Now connected!')
})

API

Room (libp2p:LibP2P, roomName:string, options:object)

  • libp2p: LibP2P node. Must have pubsub activated
  • roomName: string, global identifier for the room
  • options: object:
    • pollInterval: interval for polling the pubsub peers, in ms. Defaults to 1000.
const room = Room(libp2p, 'some-room-name')

room.broadcast(message)

Broacasts message (string or Uint8Array).

room.sendTo(cid, message)

Sends message (string or Uint8Array) to peer.

async room.leave()

Leaves room, stopping everything.

room.getPeers()

Returns an array of peer identifiers (strings).

room.hasPeer(cid)

Returns a boolean indicating if the given peer is present in the room.

room.on('message', (message) => {})

Listens for messages. A message is an object containing the following properties:

  • from (string): peer id
  • data (Uint8Array): message content

room.on('peer joined', (cid) => {})

Once a peer has joined the room.

room.on('peer left', (cid) => {})

Once a peer has left the room.

room.on('subscribed',() => {})

Once your program has subscribed the topic and announced through IPFS pubsub.
