unicornAdapter.subscribeToEvent('EventType').then(subscriptionId => {
    uuid = subscriptionUuid;

unicornAdapter.unsubscribeFromEvent(uuid);

Publish events

const exampleEventType = 'exampleEventType';
const exampleEvent = {
  key1: 'value1',
  key2: 'value2'
};
 
// Sent event to Unicorn
unicornAdapter.generateEvent(exampleEvent, exampleEventType).then(eventId => {
  console.log(`EventId: ${ eventId }`);
});
 
// Adds TimeStamp and DO_state to event before sending event to Unicorn
unicornAdapter.generateChimeraEvent(exampleEvent, exampleEventType, 'state1').then(eventId => {
  console.log(`EventId: ${ eventId }`);
