Description
Request: Add Identify Protocol Example
It would be great to add an example showcasing how to use the Identify protocol in js-libp2p. This protocol is essential for peers to exchange basic information such as:
- Peer ID
- Supported protocols
- Observed addresses
Suggested contents for the example
The example could demonstrate:
- How Identify works out-of-the-box with the
js-libp2pconfiguration - How to access Identify information from peers
- How to respond to events or log peer info after a connection is established
This would help users understand peer discovery and metadata exchange more clearly, especially when debugging or building custom tools on top of libp2p.
Thanks for all the great work on this repo!

Research direction

The example should show the default Identify setup, access to peer information, and logging or responding after connection; done means these requested behaviors are demonstrated clearly.
