This is a MQTT Agent to simplify the connection with a MQTT Broker using promises.
It is a simplification of MQTT in NodeJS. All functions return a native-promise that you can use Asynchronously.
$ npm install --save mqtt-agent
const mqttAgent = require('mqtt-agent');
// const agent = new MQTTAgent('mqtt://yourmqttserver:8883'); // Default message callback
const agent = new MQTTAgent('mqtt://your-mqtt-server:8883', (topic, msg) => {
// Do something with your Topic and Message.
}); // Custom message callback
agent.connect() // Return a promise when it is connected to your server
.then((connected) => {
console.log('Connected:', connected); // Do something with the connected status
// You can now subscribe, publish and all with native promises!
return agent.subscribe('your_topic/your_device/something'); // Returns a promise
})
.then((subscribedTopic) => {
console.log('Topic subscribed to:', subscribedTopic);
// You can send options as last parameter
return agent.publish('yourTopic', 'yourMessage can be a JS Object or string');
})
.then((published) => {
console.log('Published (boolean):', published); // Then if you are subscribed to the topic, you will receive the message in your message callback
return agent.end(); // Disconnect
})
.then((disconnected) => {
console.log('Disconnected:', disconnected);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Error:', error);
});
