  subscriptionName = 'my-sub' // Name for the new subscription to create
) {
  // Instantiates a client
  const pubsub = new PubSub({projectId});

  // Creates a new topic
  const [topic] = await pubsub.createTopic(topicNameOrId);
  console.log(`Topic ${topic.name} created.`);

  // Creates a subscription on that new topic

    console.log('Received message:', message.data.toString());
