> Node.js implementation of the TCP module that libp2p uses, which implements
> the [interface-connection](https://github.com/libp2p/interface-connection)
> interface for dial/listen.
## Description
`libp2p-tcp` in Node.js is a very thin shim that adds support for dialing to a
`multiaddr`. This small shim will enable libp2p to use other different
transports.
## Example
```js
const TCP = require('libp2p-tcp')
const multiaddr = require('multiaddr')
const mh1 = multiaddr('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/9090')
const mh2 = multiaddr('/ip6/::/tcp/9092')
const tcp = new Tcp()
var listener = tcp.createListener(mh1, function handler (socket) {
console.log('connection')
socket.end('bye')
})
var listener.listen(function ready () {
console.log('ready')
const client = tcp.dial(mh1)
client.pipe(process.stdout)
client.on('end', () => {
tcp.close()
})
})
```
outputs
```
ready
connection
bye
```
## Installation
### npm
```sh
> npm i libp2p-tcp
```
## API
[![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diasdavid/interface-transport/master/img/badge.png)](https://github.com/diasdavid/interface-transport)
`libp2p-tcp` accepts TCP addresses both IPFS and non IPFS encapsulated addresses, i.e:
`/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4001`
`/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4001/ipfs/QmHash`
Both for dialing and listening.
