📚 Description

Welcome to @digital-alchemy/mqtt-extension!

💾 Install

This library can be installed as a simple dependency

npm i @digital-alchemy/mqtt-extension

Then added to your project

import { LIB_MQTT } from "@digital-alchemy/mqtt-extension";

// application
const MY_APP = CreateApplication({
  libraries: [LIB_MQTT],
  name: "home_automation",
})

// library
export const MY_LIBRARY = CreateLibrary({
  depends: [LIB_MQTT],
  name: "special_logic",
})

⚙️ Configuration

CLIENT_OPTIONS gets passed straight to mqtt library.

See mqtt code for all available options.

Add the following to your application's configuration file.

[mqtt.CLIENT_OPTIONS]
  host=localhost
  username=me
  password=super-strong-password
  port=1883

or as json in your .env

CLIENT_OPTIONS={"host":"localhost","port":1883}

🛠 Usage

Library is in an "experimental" state

More useful services will be added in the future

🔄 Bindings

The bindings file is an "everything in one file". It handles

  • Connection at onPostConfig
  • logging standard events (error messages, reconnect events, etc)

➕ subscribe

The subscribe method will automatically listen to topics for you, and pass through messages to your provided callback. You can use wildcards in your topics:

  • + - single level (device/+/turned_off)
  • # - multi level wildcard (device/thingie/#)
import { TServiceParams } from "@digital-alchemy/core";

type YourMessage = {}
export function Example({ logger, mqtt, context }: TServiceParams) {
  mqtt.bindings.subscribe({
    context,
    exec(message:YourMessage) {
      logger.info("my topic was sent!")
    },
    topic: "my/topic",
  });
}

📤 publish

Simple wrapper for the publish method on the mqtt client.

import { TServiceParams } from "@digital-alchemy/core";

type YourMessage = {}
export function Example({ logger, mqtt, lifecycle }: TServiceParams) {

  lifecycle.onReady(() => {
    mqtt.bindings.publish("my/topic")
    mqtt.bindings.publish("my/topic",{
	    extra_payload_data: {},
	    foo: "bar"
	})
  })
}

🔍 getClient

Need something more complicated? Retrieve the already configured mqtt instance

import { TServiceParams } from "@digital-alchemy/core";

type YourMessage = {}
export function Example({ mqtt, lifecycle }: TServiceParams) {

  lifecycle.onBootstrap(() => {
    const client = mqtt.bindings.getClient();

  })
}
