defmodule Topical do
  @moduledoc """
  This module provides the high level interface for interacting with topics. Primarily for
  subscribing (and unsubscribing), but also for sending requests.

  After subscribing, a client will initially receive a `{:reset, ref, value}` message, and then
  subsequent `{:updates, ref, updates}` messages when the value of the topic changes, where
  `updates` is a list with each item being one of:

   - `{:set, path, value}`: the `value` has been set at the `path`.
   - `{:unset, path, key}`: the `key` has been unset from the object at the `path`.
   - `{:insert, path, index, values}`: the `values` have been inserted into the array at the `path`.
   - `{:delete, path, index, count}`: `count` values have been deleted from the array at the `path`, from the position `index`.

  A client can interact directly with a topic by _executing_ actions (which returns a result), or
  by _notifying_ (without waiting for a result). These are analogous to `GenServer.call/3` and
  `GenServer.cast/2`. Be aware that a topic is blocked while processing a request.
