To use this on Node.js you first must install websocket-polyfill
and import it:
import 'websocket-polyfill'
import {SimplePool} from 'nostr-tools'
const pool = new SimplePool()
let relays = ['wss://relay.example.com', 'wss://relay.example2.com']

})
subs.forEach(sub =>
sub.on('event', event => {
// this will only be called once the first time the event is received
// ...
})
)
let pubs = pool.publish(relays, newEvent)

// ...
})
)
let events = await pool.list(relays, [{kinds: [0, 1]}])

To use this on Node.js you first must install node-fetch@2

assert(type === 'nprofile')
assert(data.pubkey === pk)
assert(data.relays.length === 2)
