---

persistence([opts])

Creates a new instance of a persistence, that is already ready to operate. The default implementation is in-memory only.

---

instance.storeRetained(packet, callback(err))

Store a retained message, calls the callback when it was saved.

---

instance.createRetainedStream(pattern)

Return a stream that will load all retained messages matching the given pattern (according to the MQTT spec) asynchronously.

---

instance.addSubscriptions(client, subscriptions, callback(err, client))

Add the given offline subscriptions for the given Client. The client must have connected with clean: false, as this is not checked here. This is called when a client issue a SUBSCRIBE packet.

subscriptions is in the same format of the subscribe property in the SUBSCRIBE packet:

[{
  topic: 'hello/world',
  qos: 1,
}, {
  topic: 'hello/#',
  qos: 2,
}]

---

instance.removeSubscriptions(client, subscriptions, callback(err, client))

The inverse of addSubscriptions.

---

instance.subscriptionsByClient(client, callback(err, subscriptions, client))

Returns all the offline subscriptions for the given client. Called when a client with clean: false connects to restore its subscriptions.

subscriptions is in the same format of the subscribe property in the SUBSCRIBE packet:

[{
  topic: 'hello/world',
  qos: 1,
}, {
  topic: 'hello/#',
  qos: 2,
}]

---

instance.countOffline(cb(err, numOfSubscriptions, numOfClients)

Returns the number of offline subscriptions and the number of offline clients.

---

instance.subscriptionsByTopic(pattern, callback(err, subscriptions))

Returns all the offline subscriptions matching the given pattern. Called when a PUBLISH with qos: 1 or qos: 2 is received.

The subscriptions are in the format:

{
  clientId: client.id,
  topic: sub.topic,
  qos: sub.qos
}

---

instance.cleanSubscriptions(client, callback(err, client))

Removes all offline subscriptions for a given client.

---

instance.outgoingEnqueue(subscription, packet, callback(err))

Enqueue a potentially offline delivery. subscription is one of the objects returned by subscriptionsByTopic.

---

instance.outgoingUpdate(client, packet, callback(err))

Called before a (potentially) offline packet is delivered, the caller should update the packet.messageId before updating.

---

instance.outgoingClearMessageId(client, packet, callback(err))

Removes a packet with the given messageId (passing a PUBACK is ok) from the persistence.

---

instance.outgoingStream(client)

Return a stream that will load all offline messages for the given client asynchronously.

---

instance.incomingStorePacket(client, packet, cb(err, packet))

Store an incoming packet for the given client. Used for QoS 2.

---

instance.incomingGetPacket(client, packet, cb(err, packet))

Retrieve an incoming packet with the same messageId for the given client. Used for QoS 2.

---

instance.incomingDelPacket(client, packet, cb(err, packet))

Deletes incoming packet with the same messageId for the given client. Used for QoS 2.

---

instance.putWill(client, packet, cb(err))

Stores the will of a client. Used to support multi-broker environments and to not lose wills in case of a crash.

---

instance.getWill(client, packet, cb(err))

Retrieves the will of a client. Used to support multi-broker environments and to not lose wills in case of a crash.

---

instance.delWill(client, packet, cb(err))

Removes the will of a client. Used to support multi-broker environments and to not lose wills in case of a crash.

---

instance.streamWill(brokers)

Streams all the wills for the given brokers. The brokers are in the format:

{
  mybroker: {
    brokerId: 'mybroker'
  }
}

Implement another persistence

A persistence needs to pass all tests defined in ./abstract.js. You can import and use that test suite in the following manner:

var test = require('tape').test
var myperst = require('./')
var abs = require('aedes-persistence/abstract')

abs({
  test: test,
  persistence: myperst
})
