Sending messages
The core of our application has been built. All that's left is to make a
python command-line tool that takes user input and sends it to dchatd
over JSON-RPC
.
However, we'll need to implement JSON-RPC
on dchatd
first.
We'll implement a JSON-RPC
method called send
that takes some user
data. When dchatd
receives send
it will create a DchatMsg
and send
it over the network using p2p.broadcast
.
This is p2p.broadcast
:
/// Broadcasts a message concurrently across all active channels.
pub async fn broadcast<M: Message>(&self, message: &M) {
self.broadcast_with_exclude(message, &[]).await
}
broadcast
takes a generic Message
type and sends it across all the
channels that our node has access to.
