This is a **feature request**
## Problem
It seems that currently the only straightforward way to enable `peerExchange` is to set `defaultBootstrap: true`. This is problematic in case a user runs on a custom pubsubTopic or generally separate network and may not want to use default fleets to bootstrap.
It is possible to enable `peerExchange` by adding it to `libp2p.peerDiscovery` (thanks @danisharora099 !)
```
waku = await createLightNode({
libp2p: {
peerDiscovery: [
wakuPeerExchangeDiscovery(pubsubTopic)
]
}
});
```
But it might be useful to either enable it by default, or add something like `peerExchange: true` to the top level config
## Proposed Solutions
(these are `or` options:) )
1. Enable peerExchange by default
2. Add `peerExchange` parameter to `createLightNode`
3. Document the current way (via libp2p.peerDiscovery)
