• filters.dnsWss
  • Returns all DNS based addresses with wss.
• filters.dnsWsOrWss

Libp2p Usage Example

import Libp2p from 'libp2p'
import { Websockets } from '@libp2p/websockets'
import filters from 'libp2p-websockets/filters'
import { MPLEX } from 'libp2p-mplex'
import { NOISE } from 'libp2p-noise'

const transportKey = Websockets.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag]
const node = await Libp2p.create({
  modules: {
    transport: [Websockets],
    streamMuxer: [MPLEX],
    connEncryption: [NOISE]
  },
  config: {
    transport: {
      [transportKey]: { // Transport properties -- Libp2p upgrader is automatically added
        filter: filters.dnsWsOrWss
