stream from node.lookup() doesn't match the documented interface

[Nuhvi]

Calling node.lookup doesn't return the object described here: https://github.com/hyperswarm/dht#const-stream--nodelookuptopic-options

It returns a Query instance from the dht-rpc and I can't find the described interface there either.

Ah the query IS a stream. Use like you would any nodejs stream or async iterator

[mafintosh]

The wording could be better, (feel free to improve :)) but the "looks like this" part describes the data returned.

[Nuhvi]

I couldn't get any chunks with on('data'), however this works:

await stream.finished();
stream.closestNodes

Which are the public functions on Query, so I will leave it at that until I find a use for any other API.

[mafintosh]

It emits data, end, close. If you data was emitted the stream was prob empty.

[Nuhvi]

Well, how to send data?

All I have is another nod e that is announcing:

      const node = new DHT({ keyPair });
      node.announce(topic);
``

So if that doesn't result in data, I am not sure what does?

[mafintosh]

See the tests, it returns the data of nodes that are already announced.

[mafintosh]

For example this one, https://github.com/hyperswarm/dht/blob/master/test/announces.js#L36-L39

[Nuhvi]

I didn't wait for the announced stream to finish.

This work fine:

      await node.announce(topic, keyPair).finished();
