 ## Usage
+`@push.rocks/smartuniverse` is designed to enable messaging services for microservices, allowing them to communicate in a structured and secure manner. Below are examples and scenarios illustrating how to use `@push.rocks/smartuniverse` for both server (managing messages across services) and client (microservices communicating within the universe) aspects.
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+### Server side setup: Creating your Universe
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.
+First, you need to set up the server side of your messaging ecosystem, which involves creating a "universe" where channels reside.
 
-> licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
+```typescript
-> | By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy.html)
+import { Universe } from '@push.rocks/smartuniverse';
 
-[![repo-footer](https://pushrocks.gitlab.io/assets/repo-footer.svg)](https://push.rocks)
+// Initialize a new Universe
+const myUniverse = new Universe({
+  messageExpiryInMilliseconds: 60000, // messages expire after 60 seconds
+});
+
+// Create channels for communication within the universe
+// These channels can be thought of as topics or queues that services can subscribe to or post messages to
+myUniverse.addChannel('channel-one', 'password1');
+myUniverse.addChannel('channel-two', 'password2');
+
+// Start the universe server on a specified port
+myUniverse.start(8765);
+```
+
+By starting the universe, you've established a messaging hub for your microservices. Ensure that the services know the universe's address and the channels and passwords they should use for communication.
+
+### Client side: Microservices joining the Universe
+
+On the client side, your microservices will join the universe, subscribing to channels to listen for messages or post their messages to be consumed by other services.
+
+```typescript
+import { ClientUniverse, ClientUniverseChannel } from '@push.rocks/smartuniverse';
+
+// Initialize client that connects to the universe server
+const clientUniverse = new ClientUniverse({
+  serverAddress: 'http://your-universe-server:8765',
+  autoReconnect: true,
+});
+
+// Define a channel to subscribe to (the channel must be created in the universe server)
+const channel = clientUniverse.addChannel('channel-one', 'password1');
+
+// Start the client to enable communication
+clientUniverse.start();
+
+// Posting a message to the channel
+channel.postMessage({
+  messageText: 'Hello, universe!',
+  payload: { some: 'data' },
+});
+
+// Listening for messages from the channel
+channel.subscribe((message) => {
+  console.log('Received message:', message);
+});
+```
+
+### Reaction Patterns: Request and Response Within the Universe
+
+`@push.rocks/smartuniverse` supports reactive programming. Microservices can emit "reaction requests" and listen for "reaction responses" tied to specific actions or commands.
+
+```typescript
+import { ReactionRequest, ReactionResponse } from '@push.rocks/smartuniverse';
+
+// Define a request-response type
+interface MyRequestResponse {
+  method: 'greet';
+  request: { name: string };
+  response: { message: string };
+};
+
+// Creating a reaction request on client side
+const reactionRequest = new ReactionRequest<MyRequestResponse>({ method: 'greet' });
+
+// Emitting a reaction request and handling responses
+reactionRequest.fire([channel], { name: 'World' }).then((reactionResult) => {
+  reactionResult.getFirstResult().then((response) => {
+    console.log(response.message); // Output: Hello, World!
+  });
+});
+
+// Handling reaction requests on server side or another client
+const reactionResponse = new ReactionResponse<MyRequestResponse>({
+  channels: [myUniverse.getChannel('channel-one')],
+  funcDef: async (requestData) => {
+    return { message: `Hello, ${requestData.name}!` };
+  },
+  method: 'greet',
+});
+```
+
+This pattern enables a powerful, flexible communication system where services can asynchronously request information or trigger actions across the microservices architecture without direct coupling.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+`@push.rocks/smartuniverse` provides a robust platform for facilitating communication between microservices. By setting up a universe and defining channels, your services can securely exchange messages, supporting both direct communications and reactive programming patterns. Whether sharing updates, events, or performing request-response interactions, `@push.rocks/smartuniverse` simplifies the process of building a cohesive microservices ecosystem.
