## 🚀 Quick Start

### Running the Examples

Start a server:

```

In another terminal, start a client:

```bash
node run example/client

# or

bun run example/client
```

## 📖 Basic Usage

### 🖥️ Server Example

```javascript
import { Server } from 'gtenet';

// Create a server with automatic port checking
const server = await Server.create({
  ip: '127.0.0.1', // Server IP address
  port: 17091, // Server port
  maxPeer: 32, // Maximum connected clients
});

// Set up event handlers with chaining
server
  .on('connect', event => {
    console.log('🎉 Client connected:', event.peer);
  })
  .on('disconnect', event => {
    console.log('👋 Client disconnected:', event.peer);
  })
  .on('receive', event => {
    console.log('📨 Received:', event.data.toString());
    // Echo the message back
    server.send(event.peer, 0, `Echo: ${event.data.toString()}`);
  })
  .on('error', err => {
    console.error('❌ Server error:', err.message);
  });

// Start listening for connections
await server.listen();
```

### 💻 Client Example

```javascript
import { Client } from 'gtenet';

// Create a client
const client = new Client({
  ip: '127.0.0.1', // Server IP
  port: 17091, // Server port
});

// Set up event handlers
client
  .on('connect', event => {
    console.log('🔗 Connected to server!');
    client.send(0, 'Hello Server! 👋');
  })
  .on('disconnect', event => {
    console.log('💔 Disconnected from server');
  })
  .on('receive', event => {
    console.log('📩 Server says:', event.data.toString());
  })
  .on('error', err => {
    console.error('❌ Client error:', err.message);
  });

// @note connect and start event loop
await client.connect();
```
