go-libp2p-pubsub chat with rendezvous example

This example project allows multiple peers to chat among each other using go-libp2p-pubsub.

Peers are discovered using a DHT, so no prior information (other than the rendezvous name) is required for each peer.

Running

Clone this repo, then cd into the examples/pubsub/basic-chat-with-rendezvous directory:

git clone https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p
cd go-libp2p/examples/pubsub/basic-chat-with-rendezvous

Now you can either run with go run, or build and run the binary:

go run .

# or, build and run separately
go build .
./chat

To change the topic name, use the -topicName flag:

go run . -topicName=adifferenttopic

Try opening several terminals, each running the app. When you type a message and hit enter in one, it should appear in all others that are connected to the same topic.

To quit, hit Ctrl-C.
