nl_tokens: publishing is async
pl_tokens: function publish ( subject , op , target ) { try { var type = ( _ . isString ( target ) ) ? target : target . type ; var topic = getTopic ( <mask> ) ; // optimization: would be nice to tell if there are subscribers before I bother to create var event = new Event ( subject , op , target ) ; provider . publish ( topic , event ) ; } catch ( err ) { logger . error ( 'unable to publish event' , err ) ; } }
