## Usage

Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

### What is smartuniverse all about?

Think WhatsApp, but for your microservices architecture. It allows your services to securely talk to each other in **private, shielded channels** without having to expose anything to the outside world. This allows the use of **reactive programming across your entire stack**.

### Server side

every universe has a server that manages messages.  
Think Kafka, but without Kafka.

```typescript
import * as smartuniverse from '@pushrocks/smartuniverse';

const myUniverse = new smartuniverse.Universe({
  messageExpiryInMilliseconds: 60000 // the standard time in milliseconds until a message expires
});

// create as many channels as you like
myUniverse.addChannel('awesomeChannel', 'awesomeChannelPass');
myUniverse.addChannel('awesomeChannel2', 'jhkjhfsdf87eerkjslkfja9');

myUniverse.start(8765); // start the server and provide the port on which to listen on
```

### Client side

All your microservices represents clients in the universe that may talk to each other using the universe server.
