subscribe to postgres events via [postgresql notify/listen](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-notify.html)

this is a fork of [pg-pub-sub](https://github.com/voxpelli/node-pg-pubsub) to address some open issues, provide 1st class typescript support, and improve the api.

## install

```sh

npm install pg-subscribe --save

```

## usage

### basic

```js

import { PgSubscriber } from 'pg-subscribe'

var subscriber = new PgSubscriber('postgres://username@localhost/database')

await subscriber.addChannel('channelName', function onNotify (channelPayload) {

  // Process the payload – if it was JSON that JSON has been parsed into an object for you

})

await subscriber.publish('channelName', { hello: "world" })

```

the above sends `NOTIFY channelName, '{"hello":"world"}'` to PostgreSQL, which will trigger the above listener with the parsed JSON in `channelPayload`.

### advanced

```js

import { PgSubscriber } from 'pg-subscribe'

var subscriber = new PgSubscriber('postgres://username@localhost/database')

await subscriber.addChannel('channelName')

// subscriber is a full EventEmitter object that sends events on channel names

subscriber.once('channelName', function (channelPayload) {

  // do great work!

})

```
