mqtt-connection   Build Status

Barebone Connection object for MQTT. Works over any kind of binary Streams, TCP, TLS, WebSocket, ...

It uses mqtt-packet for generating and parsing MQTT packets. See it for the full documentations on the packet types.

This library works with node v0.10 and node v0.8, but it requires at least NPM 1.4. To upgrade on node v0.8, run npm install npm@v1.4-latest -g.

Install

npm install mqtt-connection --save

Usage

As a client:

var net     = require('net')
  , mqttCon = require('mqtt-connection')
  , stream  = net.createConnection(1883, 'localhost')
  , conn    = mqttCon(stream);

// conn is your MQTT connection!

As a server:

var net     = require('net')
  , mqttCon = require('mqtt-connection')
  , server  = new net.Server();

server.on('connection', function(stream) {
  var conn = mqttCon(stream);

  // conn is your MQTT connection!
});

As a websocket server:

var websocket = require('websocket-stream')
  , WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server
  , Connection = require('mqtt-connection')
  , server = http.createServer()

function attachWebsocketServer(server, handler) {
  var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server})

  if (handler)
    server.on('client', handler)

  wss.on('connection', function(ws) {
    var stream = websocket(ws)
    var connection = new Connection(stream)

    server.emit("client", connection)
  })

  return server
}

attachWebsocketServer(server)

API


new mqtt.Connection([options])

Creates a new MQTT Connection.

Options:

  • notData: do not listen to the 'data' event, so that it can respect backpressure. Pipe the Connection to another stream to consume the packets. If this option is passed true the object will emit no packet-related events.
Connection#connect(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT connect packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • protocolId: Protocol ID, usually MQIsdp. string
  • protocolVersion: Protocol version, usually 3. number
  • keepalive: keepalive period in seconds. number
  • clientId: client ID. string
  • will: the client's will message options. object that supports the following properties:
    • topic: the will topic. string
    • payload: the will payload. string
    • qos: will qos level. number
    • retain: will retain flag. boolean
  • clean: the 'clean start' flag. boolean
  • username: username for protocol v3.1. string
  • password: password for protocol v3.1. string
Connection#connack(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT connack packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • returnCode: the return code of the connack, success is indicated by 0. number
Connection#publish(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT publish packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • topic: the topic to publish to. string
  • payload: the payload to publish, defaults to an empty buffer. string or buffer
  • qos: the quality of service level to publish on. number
  • messageId: the message ID of the packet, required if qos > 0. number
  • retain: retain flag. boolean
Connection#puback #pubrec #pubcomp #unsuback(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT [puback, pubrec, pubcomp, unsuback] packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • messageId: the ID of the packet
Connection#pubrel(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT pubrel packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • dup: duplicate message flag
  • messageId: the ID of the packet
Connection#subscribe(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT subscribe packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • dup: duplicate message flag
  • messageId: the ID of the packet
  • subscriptions: a list of subscriptions of the form [{topic: a, qos: 0}, {topic: b, qos: 1}]
Connection#suback(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT suback packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • granted: a vector of granted QoS levels, of the form [0, 1, 2]
  • messageId: the ID of the packet
Connection#unsubscribe(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT unsubscribe packet.

options supports the following properties:

  • messageId: the ID of the packet
  • dup: duplicate message flag
  • unsubscriptions: a list of topics to unsubscribe from, of the form ["topic1", "topic2"]
Connection#pingreq #pingresp #disconnect(options, [callback])

Send an MQTT [pingreq, pingresp, disconnect] packet.

### mqtt.generateStream()

Returns a Transform stream that calls generate(). The stream is configured into object mode.

### mqtt.parseStream(opts)

Returns a Transform stream that embeds a Parser and calls Parser.parse() for each new Buffer. The stream is configured into object mode. It accepts the same options of parser(opts).
