Mini tutorial

[ppom0]

Hi!
This library really looks amazing, I was looking for a Rust Serf implementation and I'm glad I found it :)

However I'm strugling to figure out how to use it. An example mini-agent implementation that would just print received messages to stdout (or something like this) would really help the onboarding! Or even bigger examples if you're already using it elsewhere 👀

Many thanks

Hi! Thanks!
I will work on the examples. For now, maybe you can get some ideas about how to use it from the test cases.

Okay thanks!

Hello @al8n, Did you get anywhere with some examples / tutorials please? I am using the go implementation of serf at the moment and would like to explore the rust implementation.

Hi @austin-barrington, unfortunately, you can only reference the test cases in https://github.com/al8n/serf/tree/main/core/src/serf/base/tests and https://github.com/al8n/serf/tree/main/serf/test to find how to use it.

Basically, the usage should be similar to Go's implementation, the only differences are:

1. Users need to choose a runtime tokio, async-std or smol.
2. Users need to choose a transport implementation from memberlist, either memberlist::net::NetTransport or memberlist::quinn::QuinnTransport, there are some type alias in serf.
3. Users need to choose an encoding/decoding layer, the builtin one is Lpe.

could you please provide an easy sample to run? @al8n
