DStack provides PubSub API

Peerchat uses it to communicate between users

Code Examples

Listening to messages

await stack.pubsub.subscribe(room, (event) => {
  const username = event.data.nickname
    ? `${event.data.nickname} (${event.from.slice(-5)})`
    : event.from.slice(-5);

  messageList.addItem(`${username}: ${event.data.message}`);
  messageList.scrollTo(100);
  screen.render();
});

Sending message

await pubsub.publish(room, { nickname, message });
