Example: Make non-exclusive updates to a topic
The following examples use the Diffusion™ API to update a topic with content. Updating a topic this way does not prevent other clients from updating the topic.
JavaScript
// 1. A session may update any existing topic. Update values must be of the same type as the topic being updated. // Add a topic first with a string type await session.topics.add('foo', diffusion.topics.TopicType.STRING); // Update the topic await session.topicUpdate.set('foo', diffusion.datatypes.string(), 'hello'); // Update the topic again await session.topicUpdate.set('foo', diffusion.datatypes.string(), 'world');
