No peers and addresses

[harshjv]

ipfs.swarm.peers and ipfs.swarm.addrs return empty array.

ipfs.swarm.peers((err, peerInfos) => console.log(peerInfos)) // []
ipfs.swarm.addrs((err, peerInfos) => console.log(peerInfos)) // []

Tried to do NAT with UPNP random public port, but still didn't work.

{
  "Addresses": {
    "Swarm": [
      "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4002",
      "/ip4/192.168.0.3/tcp/4002",
      "/ip4/<my_public_ip>/tcp/4002"  // mapped 4002 -> some random public port
    ],
    // ...

@harshjv That is because js-ipfs doesn't pack libp2p-dht yet, you have to manually dial or use libp2p-webrtc-star which offers some discovery functionality.

Hope the answer was clear enough, let me know if you have any other question :)

From walking through the code it looks like js-ipfs still doesn't have DHT and support only WebSocket. If that is the case it means it cannot connect to command line daemon?
