Channel

import { Channel } from '@hullo/core'
Channel is an observable and observer combined. That means you can write to and also read from it. Where observable is activated once there is a live subscription, Channel has no producer and is always "live".
import { Channel } from '@hullo/core';
​
const ch = new Channel<string>();
​
/* here, subject allows for a message
 * but since there is no subscription
 * the message is lost */
ch.next('echo!');
​
const sub = ch.subscribe({
  next: v => { console.log(v); }
});
​
/* here, there is a live subscription
 * and so the message will be received */
ch.next('ECHO!');
Channel has also two additional methods, unique to channel: take and tryTake. With those you can get a Promise of next message. Both of those are for the same purpose, one is graceful, the other fails fast.
import { Channel } from '@hullo/core';
const ch = new Channel<string>();
​
async function listen() {
  console.log(await ch.take());
}
​
async function broadcast() {
  await ch.next('hello');
}
​
listen();
broadcast();
​
// prints "hello" to the console
