Dependencies

Follow this to install bazel - https://bazel.build/install

Key Files -

• BUILD file - Contains the build instructions for the targets.
• MODULE.bazel file - Contains the module name and the dependencies.

Compilation

To compile BOOTSTRAP, PROVIDER and REQUESTER, run the following commands:

bazel build //...

Compilation (Local)

To compile BOOTSTRAP, PROVIDER and REQUESTER locally, run the following commands:

bazel build //... --define local=true

Execution

To execute, run the following commands:

Bootstrap

./bazel-bin/bootstrap

(8080 is reserved for bootstrap port so peers know where to connect)

Provider

./bazel-bin/provider [8080]

(8080 is the default port, optional parameter)

Requester

./bazel-bin/requester [8080 [r | c]]

8080 is the default port, optional parameter
r is an optional parameter to request to receive the result of the computation (use same port as original request execution) c is an optional parameter to request to provide the computation

Clean

To clean the build files:

bazel clean

How to add a new external dependency

Add the external dependency in MODULE.bazel file. This will now be visible to all the targets in the module.
For example:

http_archive(
    name = "com_github_nlohmann_json",
    urls = ["https://github.com/nlohmann/json/archive/v3.11.3.tar.gz"],
    sha256 = "0d8ef5af7f9794e3263480193c491549b2ba6cc74bb018906202ada498a79406",
    strip_prefix = "json-3.11.3",
)

VSCode Include Path (to get rid of red squiggly lines)

To include the dependency build files in VSCode, add the following to the includePath for Cpp:

"C_Cpp.default.includePath": [
  "${workspaceFolder}/bazel-PeerToPeer/external/{your_target_directory}"
]
