Yamux stream multiplexer for libp2p

About

This module is a JavaScript implementation of Yamux from Hashicorp designed to be used with js-libp2p.

Example - Configure libp2p with Yamux

import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { yamux } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-yamux'

const node = await createLibp2p({
  // ... other options
  streamMuxers: [
    yamux()
  ]
})

Example - Using the low-level API

import { yamux } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-yamux'
import { pipe } from 'it-pipe'
import { duplexPair } from 'it-pair/duplex'
import all from 'it-all'

// Connect two yamux muxers to demo basic stream multiplexing functionality

const clientMuxer = yamux({
  client: true,
  onIncomingStream: stream => {
    // echo data on incoming streams
    pipe(stream, stream)
  },
  onStreamEnd: stream => {
    // do nothing
  }
})()

const serverMuxer = yamux({
  client: false,
  onIncomingStream: stream => {
    // echo data on incoming streams
    pipe(stream, stream)
  },
  onStreamEnd: stream => {
    // do nothing
  }
})()

// `p` is our "connections", what we use to connect the two sides
// In a real application, a connection is usually to a remote computer
const p = duplexPair()

// connect the muxers together
pipe(p[0], clientMuxer, p[0])
pipe(p[1], serverMuxer, p[1])

// now either side can open streams
const stream0 = clientMuxer.newStream()
const stream1 = serverMuxer.newStream()

// Send some data to the other side
const encoder = new TextEncoder()
const data = [encoder.encode('hello'), encoder.encode('world')]
pipe(data, stream0)

// Receive data back
const result = await pipe(stream0, all)

// close a stream
stream1.close()

// close the muxer
clientMuxer.close()
