// The pubsub package provides facilities for the Publish/Subscribe pattern of message
|
|
// propagation, also known as overlay multicast.
|
|
// The implementation provides topic-based pubsub, with pluggable routing algorithms.
|
|
//
|
|
// The main interface to the library is the PubSub object.
|
|
// You can construct this object with the following constructors:
|
|
//
|
|
// - NewFloodSub creates an instance that uses the floodsub routing algorithm.
|
|
//
|
|
// - NewWakuRelaySub creates an instance that uses the gossipsub routing algorithm.
|
|
//
|
|
// - NewRandomSub creates an instance that uses the randomsub routing algorithm.
|
|
//
|
|
// In addition, there is a generic constructor that creates a pubsub instance with
|
|
// a custom PubSubRouter interface. This procedure is currently reserved for internal
|
|
// use within the package.
|
|
//
|
|
// Once you have constructed a PubSub instance, you need to establish some connections
|
|
// to your peers; the implementation relies on ambient peer discovery, leaving bootstrap
|
|
// and active peer discovery up to the client.
|
|
//
|
|
// To publish a message to some topic, use Publish; you don't need to be subscribed
|
|
// to the topic in order to publish.
|
|
//
|
|
// To subscribe to a topic, use Subscribe; this will give you a subscription interface
|
|
// from which new messages can be pumped.
