mqtt-connection
Advanced tools
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 is tested with node v4, v6 and v7. The last version to support older versions of node was mqtt-connection@2.1.1.
npm install mqtt-connection --save
As a client:
var net = require('net')
var mqttCon = require('mqtt-connection')
var stream = net.createConnection(1883, 'localhost')
var conn = mqttCon(stream)
// conn is your MQTT connection!
As a server:
var net = require('net')
var mqttCon = require('mqtt-connection')
var server = new net.Server()
server.on('connection', function (stream) {
var client = mqttCon(stream)
// client connected
client.on('connect', function (packet) {
// acknowledge the connect packet
client.connack({ returnCode: 0 });
})
// client published
client.on('publish', function (packet) {
// send a puback with messageId (for QoS > 0)
client.puback({ messageId: packet.messageId })
})
// client pinged
client.on('pingreq', function () {
// send a pingresp
client.pingresp()
});
// client subscribed
client.on('subscribe', function (packet) {
// send a suback with messageId and granted QoS level
client.suback({ granted: [packet.qos], messageId: packet.messageId })
})
// timeout idle streams after 5 minutes
stream.setTimeout(1000 * 60 * 5)
// connection error handling
client.on('close', function () { client.destroy() })
client.on('error', function () { client.destroy() })
client.on('disconnect', function () { client.destroy() })
// stream timeout
stream.on('timeout', function () { client.destroy(); })
})
// listen on port 1883
server.listen(1883)
As a websocket server:
var websocket = require('websocket-stream')
var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server
var Connection = require('mqtt-connection')
var server = http.createServer()
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)
handle(connection)
})
function handle (conn) {
// handle the MQTT connection like
// the net example
}
Creates a new MQTT Connection.
