## @snort/system
A collection of caching and querying techniquies used by https://snort.social to serve all content from the nostr protocol.
Simple example:
```js
import {
NostrSystem,
RequestBuilder,
StoreSnapshot,
NoteCollection
} from "@snort/system"
// Singleton instance to store all connections and access query fetching system
const System = new NostrSystem({});
(async () => {
// Setup cache system
await System.Init();
// connec to one "bootstrap" relay to pull profiles/relay lists from
// also used as a fallback relay when gossip model doesnt know which relays to pick, or "authors" are not provided in the request
await System.ConnectToRelay("wss://relay.snort.social", { read: true, write: false });
// ID should be unique to the use case, this is important as all data fetched from this ID will be merged into the same NoteStore
const rb = new RequestBuilder("get-posts");
rb.withFilter()
.authors(["63fe6318dc58583cfe16810f86dd09e18bfd76aabc24a0081ce2856f330504ed"]) // Kieran pubkey
.kinds([1])
.limit(10);
const q = System.Query(NoteCollection, rb);
// basic usage using "onEvent", fired every 100ms
q.feed.onEvent(evs => {
console.log(evs);
// something else..
});
// Hookable type using change notification, limited to every 500ms
const release = q.feed.hook(() => {
// since we use the NoteCollection we expect NostrEvent[]
// other stores provide different data, like a single event instead of an array (latest version)
const state = q.feed.snapshot as StoreSnapshot<ReturnType<NoteCollection["getSnapshotData"]>>;
// do something with snapshot of store
console.log(`We have ${state.data?.length} events now!`);
});
// release the hook when its not needed anymore
// these patterns will be managed in @snort/system-react to make it easier to use react or other UI frameworks
release();
})();
```
