How to use?

const eventBus = require('byteballcore/event_bus');

eventBus.on('text', (from_address, text) => {
	let objMessage;
	try {
		objMessage = JSON.parse(text);
		if (objMessage.id || objMessage.version) objMessage = null;
	} catch (e) {
	}
	
	if (objMessage) {
		// this is tech
	} else {
		// this is text
	}
});

In the near future, "tech" will have a separate handler
