Quick start

const { HyperP2PAutobaseForkChoice } = require('hyper-p2p-autobase-fork-choice')
const topic = process.argv[2] // 64-char hex or string
const mod = new HyperP2PAutobaseForkChoice({ topic })
await mod.ready()   // joins swarm when topic set
// ... application logic ...
await mod.close()
