## Usage (client)

### Snippet to include in HTML

```

    var wsproxy = 'http://yourappname.mybluemix.net/';

    // using wildcards is fine, but you should URL-encode it first

    var topic = 'yourtopicname';

    var primus = new Primus(wsproxy + '?topic=' + topic);

    primus.on('data', function onmsg(data) {

        // this is your callback - when a message is published to mqlight

        //  your web app will get it here

    });

```

## Usage (server)

### Running locally

(Needs mqlight to be running locally)

```

npm install

npm start

```

### Running in BlueMix

If you include this in an app deployed to Bluemix, it will connect to an MQ Light service bound to your app.
