Status CLI

The Status CLI is a command line interface for interacting with the Status messenging process. It is a tool for developers and QAs to test the communication workflow without running Status desktop and mobile app.

Features

• Create a new account
• Send and receive contact request
• DM between contacts

Build

Go to cmd/status-cli directory and build the binary

go build

You can also run make status-cli in the root directory to build the binary.

Run

Run serve command:

# run alice's server
./status-cli serve

# run charlie's server in another terminal with the logged pubkey of Alice
./status-cli serve -n charlie -p 8565 -a <alice-pubkey>

You can send direct messages through JSON RPC. If you also want to send messages through terminal enable interactive mode (with the -i flag)

JSON RPC examples:

# get waku info
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8545 -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"waku_info","params":[],"id":1}'

# get peer info
curl --request POST --url http://127.0.0.1:8545 --header 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "wakuext_peers", "params": [], "id": 1}'

# send contact request from charlie to alice (use -a flag will automatacally send contact request when starting)
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8565 -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"wakuext_sendContactRequest","params":[{"id": "0x0436470da23039f10c1588bc6b9fcbd4b815bf9fae4dc09c0fb05a7eaaf1670b5dbdbc757630d54bf2f8be45a796304dc42506c3f4172f499f610a9ed85d9b0d4c", "message": "hello"}],"id":1}'

# send dm from charlie to alice
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8565 -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"wakuext_sendOneToOneMessage","params":[{"id": "0x0436470da23039f10c1588bc6b9fcbd4b815bf9fae4dc09c0fb05a7eaaf1670b5dbdbc757630d54bf2f8be45a796304dc42506c3f4172f499f610a9ed85d9b0d4c", "message": "how are you"}],"id":1}'

# send dm from alice to charlie
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8545 -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"wakuext_sendOneToOneMessage","params":[{"id": "0x042c0ce856c41ad6d3f651a84c83f646cdafdf3a26a3d69bce3a6ccf59b23b5a366c12162045d5066abad7912741a6e6c6e8e11e7826c4c850a1de7a2bae24a79c", "message": "Im fine, and you?"}],"id":1}'

Run serve-account command

The ./status-cli serve command will generate a new account, it will print in the console the key UID of that account, if you want to re-run that created account (i.e.: run the account with the same public key), you can do so with this command:

./status-cli serve-account -n alice -kid 0x02887ff8dddb774ad836c00c8fd30ef9bc45d6b23f1f8cad1bff07d09cb378c3

You will need the same name and key

Run simulate command

# simulate DM between two accounts
./status-cli simulate

# simulate DM in a interactive way
./status-cli simulate -i

# simulate DM with 3 messages
./status-cli simulate -c 3

# run in light mode
./status-cli simulate --light

You can run the commands with --light to work as a light client.

Logs are recorded in file *.log and terminal.

JSON-RPC use cases

Start two CLIs adding each other as contacts

# terminal 1 (alice)
./status-cli serve -n alice -p 5500
# note the public key and the key id from the output

# terminal 2 (bobby)
./status-cli serve -n bobby -p 5501 -a <alice_pub_key>

Restart any existing account

# notice we need both the name and the key id (not the pub key here)
# the key id will be pressent in the logs when a new account is created, same as the public key
./status-cli serve -n bobby -kid <bob_key_id>
