Nym Desktop Client Code Examples

This directory contains example code for javascript, python, and rust. Please note that none of these examples are production-ready, and are included really just to show how the client interacts with the Nym system.

Make sure that you have an instance of the nym-client set up and running locally on port 1977 before trying to run any of these examples.

Go

There are two examples here:

• binarysend, which (as the name suggests) sends a binary file, and
• textsend which sends a raw text file.

Both examples send these files over the Nym mixnet to the address of your running Nym client, logging information in your terminal window.

Javascript

The example included here starts a websocket server on port 8888, the ui of which can be used to send strings over the Nym mixnet to the address of your running Nym client.

Prerequisites

• Reasonably up to date NodeJS & npm (>= ~v12)

Running it

Run the following commands:

# install dependencies
npm install
# start a webserver on port 8888 
npm start 

Then open your browser to localhost:8888.

Python

There are two examples here:

• binarysend, which (as the name suggests) sends a binary file, and
• textsend which sends a raw text file.

Both examples send these files over the Nym mixnet to the address of your running Nym client, logging information in your terminal window.

Make sure that you have an instance of the nym-client set up and running locally on port 1977 before trying to run either of the example scripts.
