tendermint/libs/pubsub/pubsub.go

// Package pubsub implements an event dispatching server with a single publisher
// and multiple subscriber clients. Multiple goroutines can safely publish to a
// single Server instance.
//
// Clients register subscriptions with a query to select which messages they
// wish to receive. When messages are published, they are broadcast to all
// clients whose subscription query matches that message. Queries are
// constructed using the github.com/tendermint/tendermint/libs/pubsub/query
// package.
//
// Example:
//
//     q, err := query.New("account.name='John'")
//     if err != nil {
//         return err
//     }
//     ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 1*time.Second)
//     defer cancel()
//     subscription, err := pubsub.Subscribe(ctx, "johns-transactions", q)
//     if err != nil {
//         return err
//     }
//
//     for {
//         select {
//         case msg <- subscription.Out():
//             // handle msg.Data() and msg.Events()
//         case <-subscription.Canceled():
//             return subscription.Err()
//         }
//     }
