Lightweight async message bus with fire-and-forget events and typed RPC calls. Zero dependencies. Fully TypeScript.

• send() — broadcast to all listeners (non-blocking)
• call() — request/response to exactly one listener (awaits result)
• on() — register listener
• once() — auto-unregister after first call
• off() — remove listener (topic auto-cleanup)
• Random routing when multiple RPC listeners exist
• Type-safe payloads and return types per topic
• Support CJS and ESM

import { Bus } from "@papack/bus";

type Topic = "log" | "calc";

const bus = new Bus<Topic>();

bus.on("log", async (msg) => console.log(msg));
bus.on("calc", async (n) => n * 2);

bus.send("log", "Hello");
const result = await bus.call<number, number>("calc", 21);
console.log(result); // 42

• an implementation of the BusPort that work in multiprocess Node
• use like const bus = new ClusterBus()

• an implementation of the BusPort that work with Redis
• inject Redis client to keep 0 Dependencys
• use like const bus = new RedisBus({client:redisClient})

Idea: a Gossip Port for peer-to-peer message propagation using a gossip protocol.
