How to use
Start a Together.Server
to use it
You can start it by adding a worker to your app’s supervision tree
worker(Together.Server, [[delay: 3000, renew: true], [name: Together.Server]])
Or start it as you would any other GenServer
{:ok, pid} = Together.Server.start_link(delay: 300, renew: true)
Make calls to the server:
Together.process(pid, "some_unique_name_or_id", a_function)
Together.process(pid, "id", Module, :func, [arg1, arg2, ...])
Together.process("something", some_func)
you can omit the pid if the server is started with nameTogether.Server
