This application is the base layer of CRCLS. It is the gateway to the network.
This is a hardstop WIP. So many things to build. ❤️
To run this app locally on a Mac, make sure you have the latest verison of Xcode commandline tools installed.
xcode-select -p To see if they are installed. If not run xcode-select --install
Once that is complete, make sure you have Go installed and up to date. The simplest way to manage the installation is with brew..
brew search golang
Install the latest verison.
brew install golang
Once that's done, verify the the installation with go version.
Basic usage is to run the app locally from the repo root using this command:
go run .Add the -verbose flag to see the debug output.
This will start the application and use the console's stdin and stdout for interaction.
When peers join the network, you'll see a JSON event printed to the console.
There are only a couple commands so far. All commands start with a / (slash) and have one or more subcommands.
/list channels
This command will respond with a JSON object that lists the registered channels. (So far only the global channel is availble.)
/join {channelName}
Join a channel by passing the channel name to this command. Eg. /join global
/reply {message}
Once you've joined a channel, you can now start sending messages. Use this command with a following message to broadcast. Other connected nodes that are subscribed to this channel will receive your message.
/list messages [int]
This command returns the history for the last [int] days of the current channel.
/list members
Returns a list of the peers connected to the network.
These are more WIP commands.
/member create {member JSON object}
Create a new member account. This creates an EVM compatible wallet keypair and saves it to the local filesystem. Plans to include other chains are in the works.
