Validator interface defines the primary methods of a validator client.

type ValidatorService

type ValidatorService struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ValidatorService represents a service to manage the validator client routine.

func NewValidatorService

func NewValidatorService(ctx context.Context, cfg *Config) (*ValidatorService, error)

NewValidatorService creates a new validator service for the service registry.

func (*ValidatorService) Start

func (v *ValidatorService) Start()

Start the validator service. Launches the main go routine for the validator client.

func (*ValidatorService) Status

func (v *ValidatorService) Status() error

Status ...

WIP - not done.

func (*ValidatorService) Stop

func (v *ValidatorService) Stop() error

Stop the validator service.
