## Description
|
||
|
|
||
|
This example showcases a basic distributed key-value store implemented using **libp2p**, along with the mDNS and Kademlia protocols.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Key-Value Store
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Open two terminal windows, type `cargo run` and press Enter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. In terminal one, type `PUT my-key my-value` and press Enter.
|
||
|
This command will store the value `my-value` with the key `my-key` in the distributed key-value store.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. In terminal two, type `GET my-key` and press Enter.
|
||
|
This command will retrieve the value associated with the key `my-key` from the key-value store.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. To exit, press `Ctrl-c` in each terminal window to gracefully close the instances.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Provider Records
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also use provider records instead of key-value records in the distributed store.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Open two terminal windows and start two instances of the key-value store.
|
||
|
If your local network supports mDNS, the instances will automatically connect.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. In terminal one, type `PUT_PROVIDER my-key` and press Enter.
|
||
|
This command will register the peer as a provider for the key `my-key` in the distributed key-value store.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. In terminal two, type `GET_PROVIDERS my-key` and press Enter.
|
||
|
This command will retrieve the list of providers for the key `my-key` from the key-value store.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. To exit, press `Ctrl-c` in each terminal window to gracefully close the instances.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Feel free to explore and experiment with the distributed key-value store example, and observe how the data is distributed and retrieved across the network using **libp2p**, mDNS, and the Kademlia protocol.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Conclusion
|
||
|
|
||
|
This example demonstrates the implementation of a basic distributed key-value store using **libp2p**, mDNS, and the Kademlia protocol.
|
||
|
By leveraging these technologies, peers can connect, store, and retrieve key-value pairs in a decentralized manner.
|
||
|
The example provides a starting point for building more advanced distributed systems and exploring the capabilities of **libp2p** and its associated protocols.
