Examples

const FloodSub = require('libp2p-floodsub')

const fsub = new FloodSub(node)

fsub.start((err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Upsy', err)
  }
  fsub.on('fruit', (data) => {
    console.log(data)
  })
  fsub.subscribe('fruit')

  fsub.publish('fruit', new Buffer('banana'))
})

Events

Floodsub emits two kinds of events: 1. <topic> when a message is received for a particular topic

  fsub.on('fruit', (data) => { ... })

• data: a Buffer containing the data that was published to the topic

2. floodsub:subscription-change when the local peer receives an update to the subscriptions of a remote peer.

     fsub.on('floodsub:subscription-change', (peerInfo, topics, changes) => { ... })

• peerInfo: a PeerInfo object
• topics: the topics that the peer is now subscribed to
• changes: an array of { topicCID: <topic>, subscribe: <boolean> } eg [ { topicCID: 'fruit', subscribe: true }, { topicCID: 'vegetables': false } ]
