### Usage Examples

#### Basic Event Handling with Standard Methods

```javascript
import { PeerPigeonMesh } from 'peerpigeon';

const mesh = new PeerPigeonMesh({
  peerId: 'unique-peer-id',
  maxPeers: 5
});

// Using standard .on() method with chaining
mesh
  .on('connected', () => {
    console.log('🔗 Connected to mesh network');
  })
  .on('peerConnected', (data) => {
    console.log(`👋 Peer joined: ${data.peerId}`);
  })
  .on('messageReceived', (data) => {
    console.log(`💬 Message from ${data.from}: ${data.content}`);
  });

// One-time listener for initialization
mesh.once('initialized', () => {
  console.log('🎉 Mesh is ready!');
  // This listener will automatically be removed after first call
});

await mesh.init();
await mesh.connect('ws://localhost:3000');
```

#### Advanced Event Management

```javascript
// Store reference to listeners for later removal
const messageHandler = (data) => {
  console.log('Message:', data.content);
};

const peerHandler = (data) => {
  console.log('Peer event:', data.peerId);
};

// Add multiple listeners
mesh
  .on('messageReceived', messageHandler)
  .on('peerConnected', peerHandler)
  .on('peerDisconnected', peerHandler);

// Check listener counts
console.log(`Message listeners: ${mesh.listenerCount('messageReceived')}`);
console.log(`Active events: ${mesh.eventNames()}`);

// Remove specific listener
mesh.off('messageReceived', messageHandler);

// Remove all listeners for an event
mesh.removeAllListeners('peerConnected');

// Remove all listeners for all events
mesh.removeAllListeners();
```

#### Error Handling and Cleanup

```javascript
// Set up error handling
mesh.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error('Mesh error:', error);
});

// Clean up on shutdown
process.on('SIGINT', () => {
  console.log('Shutting down...');
  
  // Remove all event listeners to prevent memory leaks
  mesh.removeAllListeners();
  
  // Disconnect from mesh
  mesh.disconnect();
  process.exit(0);
});
```

#### Compatibility with Both Styles

```javascript
// You can mix and match both styles as needed
mesh.addEventListener('connected', legacyHandler); // Traditional style
mesh.on('disconnected', modernHandler);           // Standard style

// Both work the same way
mesh.removeEventListener('connected', legacyHandler);
mesh.off('disconnected', modernHandler);
```

- `options.maxMessageSize` (number, default: 1048576) - Max message size in bytes (1MB)
- `options.maxPortRetries` (number, default: 10) - Port retry attempts if port in use
- `options.isHub` (boolean, default: false) - Run as a hub server
- `options.hubMeshNamespace` (string, default: 'pigeonhub-mesh') - Network namespace for hub-to-hub connections
