const nostrKeyValue: NostrKeyValue = new NostrKeyValue(
  relays,
  npub,
  "nostr_key_value_update_test",
);

await nostrKeyValue.setItem("item", "Hello!");
const result_1 = await nostrKeyValue.getItem("item");
console.log("getValue: ", result_1);
// > Hello!
await nostrKeyValue.dropItem("item", );
