# libp2p-native-bridge

Native libp2p bridge for React Native applications, providing a unified interface for iOS and Android libp2p implementations.

## Installation

### Via IOR (Interoperable Object Reference)

```typescript
import { Libp2pComponent } from 'ior:gitea:gitea.metatrom.net:universal-components/libp2p-native-bridge@1.0.0';
```

### Via npm/yarn (if published)

```bash
npm install @metatrom/libp2p-native-bridge
# or
yarn add @metatrom/libp2p-native-bridge
```

## Features

- 🌐 Unified libp2p interface for React Native
- 📱 iOS and Android native module support
- 🔧 Configurable settings management
- 🎛️ Settings UI component
- 🔌 Protocol handler support
- 🔍 Peer discovery and connection management with configurable TTL
- 🚀 TypeScript support with self-contained type definitions for IOR compatibility

## Usage

### Basic Setup

```typescript
import { Libp2pComponent } from '@metatrom/libp2p-native-bridge';

// Create libp2p instance
const libp2p = new Libp2pComponent({
  config: {
    tcpPort: 10000,
    wsPort: 10005,
  },
  protocols: [
    {
      protocolId: '/my-protocol/1.0.0',
      handler: async ({ peerId, data }) => {
        console.log(`Received data from ${peerId}:`, data);
      },
    },
  ],
});

// Start the node
await libp2p.start();

// Listen for peer discovery
libp2p.addEventListener('peer:discovery', (evt) => {
  console.log('Discovered peer:', evt.detail.id.toString());
});

// Connect to a peer
await libp2p.dial('/ip4/192.168.1.2/tcp/10000/p2p/12D3KooW...');
```

### Using with React Hook

```typescript
import { useLibp2p } from './hooks/useLibp2p';
import { Libp2pComponent } from '@metatrom/libp2p-native-bridge';

function MyComponent() {
  const { isStarted, peerId, discoveredPeers, start, stop } = useLibp2p({
    config: {
      tcpPort: 10000,
      wsPort: 10005,
    },
  });

  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Status: {isStarted ? 'Started' : 'Stopped'}</Text>
      <Text>Peer ID: {peerId?.toString()}</Text>
      <Button title="Start" onPress={start} />
      <Button title="Stop" onPress={stop} />
    </View>
  );
}
```

### Settings Management

```typescript
import { getSettingsService, SettingsUI } from '@metatrom/libp2p-native-bridge';

// Get settings service instance
const settingsService = getSettingsService();

// Load settings
const settings = await settingsService.loadSettings();

// Update settings
await settingsService.updateSetting('tcpPort', 10100);

// Use the Settings UI component
<SettingsUI
  initialSettings={settings}
  onSettingsChange={(newSettings) => {
    console.log('Settings changed:', newSettings);
  }}
/>
```

## API Reference

### Libp2pComponent

Main class for interacting with the native libp2p implementation.

#### Constructor Options

```typescript
interface Libp2pOptions {
  config?: {
    tcpPort?: number;    // Default: 10000
    wsPort?: number;     // Default: 10005
  };
  protocols?: ProtocolHandler[];
  keypair?: {
    privateKey: Uint8Array;
    publicKey: Uint8Array;
  };
}
```

#### Methods

- `start()`: Start the libp2p node
- `stop()`: Stop the libp2p node
- `dial(multiaddr: string)`: Connect to a peer
- `hangUp(peerId: string)`: Disconnect from a peer
- `getConnections(peerId?: string)`: Get active connections
- `sendProtocolData(peerId: string, protocolId: string, data: Uint8Array)`: Send data via protocol
- `refreshDiscovery()`: Refresh peer discovery
- `pingPeer(peerId: string)`: Ping a peer

#### Events

- `peer:discovery`: New peer discovered
- `peer:lost`: Peer lost
- `peer:connect`: Peer connected
- `peer:disconnect`: Peer disconnected
- `connection:open`: Connection opened
- `connection:close`: Connection closed
- `self:peer:update`: Own peer info updated

### SettingsService

Singleton service for managing application settings.

#### Methods

- `getInstance()`: Get singleton instance
- `initialize()`: Initialize settings
- `loadSettings()`: Load settings from storage
- `saveSettings(settings)`: Save settings
- `getSettings()`: Get current settings
- `updateSetting(key, value)`: Update specific setting
- `resetAllData()`: Reset all application data

## Native Module Requirements

This package requires the following native modules to be implemented in your React Native project:

### iOS
- `Libp2pModule`: Swift implementation of libp2p
- `DiscoveryModule`: mDNS/Bonjour discovery
- `SecureStorageModule`: Keychain storage (optional)

### Android
- `Libp2pModule`: Kotlin implementation of libp2p
- `DiscoveryModule`: Network Service Discovery
- `SecureStorageModule`: Keystore storage (optional)

## Configuration

### Default Settings

```typescript
{
  tcpPort: 10000,
  wsPort: 10005,
  discoveryTimeout: 30000,  // Discovery TTL in milliseconds (30 seconds)
  enableDebugLogs: false,
  autoDiscovery: false,
  useCustomPorts: false,
  dhtServerUrl: 'ws://192.168.188.40:3000/ws'
}
```

#### Discovery TTL (Time To Live)

The `discoveryTimeout` setting controls how long the peer discovery process runs before timing out. This acts as a TTL (Time To Live) for discovery operations:
- Default: 30000ms (30 seconds)
- Minimum: 5000ms (5 seconds)
- Maximum: 300000ms (5 minutes)
- Can be configured via SettingsUI or programmatically through SettingsService

## Platform Considerations

### iOS
- Uses Swift libp2p packages
- Native Bonjour/mDNS discovery
- Compile-time protocol registration

### Android
- Uses Kotlin with JVM libp2p
- Network Service Discovery (NSD)
- Dynamic protocol registration

## Recent Updates

### TypeScript Declarations
- Self-contained type definitions for improved IOR (Interoperable Object Reference) compatibility
- All types are now bundled directly in the package for better type generation support

### Discovery TTL Configuration
- Added configurable TTL for peer discovery operations via `discoveryTimeout` setting
- Improved discovery lifecycle management with timeout controls

## Dependencies

### Peer Dependencies
- `react`: >=18.0.0
- `react-native`: >=0.72.0
- `@react-native-async-storage/async-storage`: *

### External IOR Dependencies
