Hey,

I have a question about the prefix option. Is it supposed to prefix channel names when using the subscribe command?

At the moment it does not seems to prefix the channel name.

In my use-case it is at odds with my PHP client predis that does prefix channels name when using the publish commands.

Thanks for your help & your time

No, the channel name is not prefixed. Only the keys are prefixed. I think this behavior is unlikely to change since it would brake a lot of existing clients.

@Atala You can easily implement this on your own by wrapping this feature and prepending the prefix to channel names. For reference, see this commit yss14/node-redis-eventbus@8930897

Yes indeed, I did it this way - I was just surprised of the unexpected (imho) behavior.

Thanks!
