+# Bus
+
+- **Independent**: has no external dependencies
+- **Probably Fast**: no reflection
+- **Type Safe**: built on generics
+- **Small and Simple**: can be used as following:
+
+Having the following event:
+
+```go
+    package events
+
+    type InterestingEvent struct {
+    }
+```
+
+a listener can registering a handler by calling `Sub` method:
+
+```go
+    package subscriber
+
+   import "github.com/badu/bus"
+   
+   // ... somewhere in a setup function / constructor    
+   bus.Sub(OnMyEventOccurred)
+```
+
+where the handler is having the following signature:
+
+```go
+    func OnMyEventOccurred(event InterestingEvent){
+      // do something with the event here
+	}   
+```
+
+The event producer / dispatcher will simply:
+
+```go
+    package dispatcher
+
+   import "github.com/badu/bus"
+   
+   // ...somewhere in a dispatching function
+   
+   bus.Pub(InterestingEvent{})
+```
+
+If the event needs to go async, in the sense that the bus package will spin up a goroutine for the caller, just
+implement the following interface:
+
+```go
+    package events
+
+    func (e InterestingEvent) Async() bool{ return true }
+``` 
+
+if the handler has the signature declared above, or
+
+```go
+    package events
+
+    func (e *InterestingEvent) Async() bool{ return true }
+``` 
+
+if the handler has the signature as following:
+
+```go
+    func OnMyEventOccurred(event *InterestingEvent){
+      // do something with the event here
+	}   
+```
+
+Another way to publish an event async, is to use `PubAsync` method that package exposes.
+
+By default, the bus is using sync events, which means that it waits for listeners to complete their jobs before calling
+the next listener.
+
+Usage : `go get github.com/badu/bus`
+
+## F.A.Q.
+
+1. I want to cancel subscription at some point. How do I do that?
+
+Subscribing returns access to the `Cancel` method
+
+```go
+package subscriber
+
+// ... somewhere in a setup function / constructor
+subscription := bus.Sub(OnMyEventOccurred)
+// when needed, calling cancel of subscription, so function OnMyEventOccurred won't be called anymore
+subscription.Cancel()
+```
+
+2. Can I subscribe once?
+
+Yes! The event handler has to return true.
+
+```go
+package subscriber
+// ... somewhere in a setup function / constructor
+
+bus.SubCancel( func(event InterestingEvent) bool {
+    // do something with the event here
+	return true // returning true will cancel the subscription
+})
+```
+
+3. I want to inspect registered events. How do I do that?
+
+The events mapper is a `sync.Map`, so iterate using `Range`
+
+```go
+bus.Range(func(k, v any)bool{
+	fmt.Printf("%#v %#v\n", k, v)
+})
+```
+
+4. I want to use my own event names. Is that possible?
+
+Yes! You have to implement the following interface:
+
+```go
+package events
+
+func (e InterestingEvent) EventID() string{
+	return "YourInterestingEventName"
+}
+```
+
+The event name is the key of the mapper, which means that implementing your own event names might cause panics 
+if you have name collisions.
+
+5. Will I have race conditions?
+
+No. The package is concurrent safe.
+
+## What Problem Does It Solve?
+
+Decoupling of components: publishers and subscribers can operate independently of each other, with no direct knowledge
+of each other's existence. This decoupling allows for greater flexibility and scalability, as new publishers and
+subscribers can be added to the system without disrupting existing components. Also, this facilitates testing by
+triggering or ignoring certain events in some scenarios.
+
+Asynchronous messaging: messages can be sent and received asynchronously (by spinning up goroutines), which means that
+publishers and subscribers don't have to wait for each other to consume their messages. This can improve performance and
+response times in a system.
+
+Reliability: the message broker acts as a buffer between publishers and subscribers, ensuring that messages are
+delivered even if one or more components in the system are temporarily unavailable.
+
+Modularity: the Pub-Sub pattern can be used to break a monolithic application into smaller, more modular components.
+Each component can then be developed and tested independently, making the overall system easier to maintain and update.
+
+## Scenarios of Usage
+
+Inside the `test_scenarios` folder, you can find the following scenarios:
+
+1. Fire and Forget.
+
+   Imagine a system / application where we have three services : `users`, `notifications` (email and
+   SMS) and `audit`. When a user registers, we want to send welcoming messages via SMS and email, but we also want to
+   audit that registration for reporting purposes.
+
+   The [UserRegisteredEvent](https://github.com/badu/bus/blob/master/test_scenarios/fire-and-forget/events/main.go#L3)
+   will carry the freshly registered username (which is also the email) and phone to the email and sms services. The
+   event is [triggered](https://github.com/badu/bus/blob/master/test_scenarios/fire-and-forget/users/service.go#L23) by
+   the user service, which performs the creation of the user account. We're using the `fire and forget` technique here,
+   because the operation of registration should not depend on the fact that we've been able to
+   send a welcoming email or a sms, or the audit system malfunctions.
+
+   Simulating audit service malfunctions easy.
+   Instead of using `Sub`, we're using `SubUnsub` to register the listener
+   and return [`true`](https://github.com/badu/bus/blob/master/test_scenarios/fire-and-forget/audit/service.go#L36) to
+   unsubscribe on events of that kind.
+
+2. Factory Request Reply
+
+   Imagine a system / application where we need to communicate with different microservices, but in this case we don't
+   want to bring them online, we're just wanting to stub the response as those services were alive.
+
+   This technique is useful when we need to test some complicated flows of business logic and facilitates the
+   transformation of an integration test into a classic unit test.
+
+   The `cart` service requires two replies from two other microservices `inventory` and `prices`. In the past, I've been
+   using a closure function to provide the service with both real GRPC clients or with mocks and stubs. The service
+   signature gets complicated and large as one service would depend on a lot of GRPC clients to aggregate data.
+
+   As you can see
+   the [test here](https://github.com/badu/bus/blob/master/test_scenarios/factory-request-reply/main_test.go) it's much
+   more elegant and the service constructor is much slimmer.
+
+   Events are one sync and one async, just to check it works in both scenarios.
+
+   Important to note that because a `WaitGroup` is being used in our event struct, we're forced to pass the events by
+   using a pointer, instead of passing them by value.
+
+3. Request Reply with Callback
+
+   In this example, we wanted to achieve two things. First is that the `service` and the `repository` are decoupled by
+   events. More than that, we wanted that the events are generic on their own.
+
+   The `orders` service will dispatch a generic request event, one for placing an order, which will carry an `Order` (
+   model) struct with that request and another `OrderStatus` (model) struct using the same generic event.
+
+   We are using a channel inside the generic `RequestEvent` to signal the `reply` to the publisher, which in this case
+   is a callback function that returns the result as if the publisher would have called directly the listener.
+
+   I am sure that you will find this technique interesting and having a large number of applications.
+
+4. Request Reply with Cancellation
+
+   Last but, not least, this is an example about providing `context.Context` along the publisher subscriber chain.
+   The `repository` is simulating a long database call, longer than the context's cancellation, so the service gets the
+   deadline exceeded error.
+
+   Note that this final example is not using a pointer to the event struct, but it contains two properties which have
+   pointers, so the `service` can access the altered `reply`.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. always place your events inside a separate `events` package, avoiding circular dependencies.
+2. in general, in `request-reply` scenarios, the events should be passed as pointers (even if it's somewhat slower),
+   because changing properties that represents the `reply` would not be reflected. Also, when using `sync.WaitGroup`
+   inside your event struct, always use method receivers and pass the event as a pointer — otherwise you will be passing
+   a lock by value (which is `sync.Locker`).
+3. be careful if you don't want to use pointers for events, but you still need to pass values from the listener to the
+   dispatcher. You should still have at least one property of that event that is a pointer (see events
+   in `request reply with cancellation` for example). Same technique can be applied when you need `sync.Waitgroup` to be
+   passed around with an event that is being sent by value, not by pointer.
+4. you can override the event name (which is by default, built using `fmt.Sprintf("%T", yourEvent)`) you need to
+   implement `EventID() string` interface.
