chore: update pubsub interface, multiaddr and remove protons #89

vasco-santos · 2021-04-07T15:43:35Z

This PR adds some minor tweaks following up from feedback on #87 and updates multiaddr

Moreover, updating all the dependencies and removing protons in favour of protobufjs for smaller bundles and avoiding bundle problems with web-encoding

Most of the changes are auto generated files

    const signaturePolicy = this.globalSignaturePolicy
    switch (signaturePolicy) {
      case SignaturePolicy.StrictSign:
+        // @ts-ignore seqno is optional in protobuf definition but it will exist


Protobuf definition in libp2p specs has this as optional, however it is basically an outdated thing...

    }

    // ensure that the message follows the signature policy
    const outMsg = await this._buildMessage(msgObject)
-    msgObject = utils.normalizeInRpcMessage(outMsg)
+    // @ts-ignore different type as from is converted


Because of the signatures, we have this "hack" where we also add the receivedFrom property and from is converted to a different type from the protobuf. Of couse ts does not like this, but I did not want to change this inner logic in this PR

probably should be "^5.0.0" now, Alex updated it and it was released yesterday, bl@5 has been out for a week or so too thanks to Alex as well

bl seems like a weird thing to use at the interface level, perhaps it's something we can pull out in future?

It's only used in one place and from the type def it looks like it's only necessary because the exported BufferList can't be treated as a Uint8Array based on the type heirachy.

oo, was this a bug that types picked up?

This is because the protobuf definition does not state topicIDs as required. As far as I know, all implementations send an empty arrau and not undefined and this has not been a problem. But could be as it is not spec'ed as required

why are the properties here all both optional and allow null?

This is generated from the protobuf spec for pubsub where no part of the message is required. But basically, "Optional fields may be undefined depending on the signature policy and message ID function."

sgtm (didn't review the two generated files, I'm assuming there's not much to say there)

The only major thing that stands out is the liberal use of ? combined with |null in the types. I suppose if this is just an initial go at external facing interfaces then that might an ok start, but it seems to suggest some looseness that maybe could be tightened up later?

As we reuse the same definition for several types of pubsub messages supported, the protobuf states them as optional, which makes them possibly null. More details in review comments

 message TopicDescriptor {
  optional string name = 1;
  optional AuthOpts auth = 2;
-  optional EncOpts enc = 2;
+  optional EncOpts enc = 3;


yes, this was awkward! Go and the spec were right, but I guess there is no one using topic descriptors in JS so far
Spec: https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/pubsub#the-topic-descriptor
Go: https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-pubsub/blob/master/pb/rpc.proto#L61

Types catching all the bugs 🎉

This has been merged, can be removed?

I am waiting on releasing this: alanshaw/it-length-prefixed#16
Otherwise tests fail
