$ npm i @libp2p/webrtc-direct

Loading this module through a script tag will make it's exports available as Libp2pWebrtcDirect in the global namespace.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@libp2p/webrtc-direct/dist/index.min.js"></script>

NOTE: To run build scripts node-pre-gyp is required. You can install it by running npm install -g node-pre-gyp.

import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { webRTCDirect } from '@libp2p/webrtc-direct'

const node = await createLibp2p({
  transports: [
    webRTCDirect()
  ]
  //... other config
})
await node.start()
await node.dial('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9090/http/p2p-webrtc-direct')

The libp2p implementation in JavaScript is a work in progress. As such, there are a few things you can do right now to help out:

• Go through the modules and check out existing issues. This would be especially useful for modules in active development. Some knowledge of IPFS/libp2p may be required, as well as the infrastructure behind it - for instance, you may need to read up on p2p and more complex operations like muxing to be able to help technically.
• Perform code reviews.
• Add tests. There can never be enough tests.
