mqtt-packet   Build Status

Encode and Decode MQTT 3.1.1 packets the node way.

This library works with node v4.x, v0.12.x, v0.10.x and node v0.8.x and all iojs releases, but it requires at least NPM 1.4. To upgrade NPM on node v0.8, run npm install npm@1.4.28 -g.

Install

npm install mqtt-packet --save

Examples

Generating

var mqtt    = require('mqtt-packet')
  , object  = {
        cmd: 'publish'
      , retain: false
      , qos: 0
      , dup: false
      , length: 10
      , topic: 'test'
      , payload: 'test' // can also be a Buffer
    }

console.log(mqtt.generate(object))
// prints
// <Buffer 30 0a 00 04 74 65 73 74 74 65 73 74>
//
// the same as
//
// new Buffer([
//   48, 10, // Header
//   0, 4, // Topic length
//   116, 101, 115, 116, // Topic (test)
//   116, 101, 115, 116 // Payload (test)
// ])

Parsing

var mqtt      = require('mqtt-packet')
  , parser    = mqtt.parser()

// synchronously emits all the parsed packets
parser.on('packet', function(packet) {
  console.log(packet)
  // prints:
  //
  // {
  //     cmd: 'publish'
  //   , retain: false
  //   , qos: 0
  //   , dup: false
  //   , length: 10
  //   , topic: 'test'
  //   , payload: <Buffer 74 65 73 74>
  // }
})

parser.parse(new Buffer([
  48, 10, // Header
  0, 4, // Topic length
  116, 101, 115, 116, // Topic (test)
  116, 101, 115, 116 // Payload (test)
])
// returns the number of bytes left in the parser

API

### mqtt.generate(object)

Generates a Buffer containing an MQTT packet. The object must be one of the ones specified by the packets section. Throws an Error if a packet cannot be generated.

### mqtt.parser()

Returns a new Parser object. Parser inherits from EventEmitter and will emit:

#### Parser.parse(buffer)

Parse a given Buffer and emits synchronously all the MQTT packets that are included. Returns the number of bytes left to parse.

If an error happens, an error event will be emitted, but no packet events will be emitted after that. Calling parse() again clears the error and previous buffer as if you created a new Parser.

Packets

This section describes the format of all packets emitted by the Parser and that you can input to generate.

Connect

{
    cmd: 'connect'
  , protocolId: 'MQTT' // or 'MQIsdp' in MQTT 3.1.1
  , protocolVersion: 4 // or 3 in MQTT 3.1
  , clean: true // or false
  , clientId: 'my-device'
  , keepalive: 0 // seconds, 0 is the default, can be any positive number
  , username: 'matteo'
  , password: new Buffer('collina') // passwords are buffers
  , will: {
        topic: 'mydevice/status'
      , payload: new Buffer('dead') // payloads are buffers
    }
}

If protocolVersion is 3, clientId is mandatory and generate will throw if missing.

If password or will.payload are passed as strings, they will automatically be converted into a Buffer.

Connack

{
    cmd: 'connack'
  , returnCode: 0 // or whatever else you see fit
  , sessionPresent: false // or true.
}

The only mandatory argument is returnCode, as generate will throw if missing.

Subscribe

{
    cmd: 'subscribe'
  , messageId: 42
  , subscriptions: [{
        topic: 'test'
      , qos: 0
    }]
}

All properties are mandatory.

Suback

{
    cmd: 'suback'
  , messageId: 42
  , granted: [0, 1, 2, 128]
}

All the granted qos must be < 256, as they are encoded as UInt8. All properties are mandatory.

Unsubscribe

{
    cmd: 'unsubscribe'
  , messageId: 42
  , unsubscriptions: [
        'test'
      , 'a/topic'
    ]
}

All properties are mandatory.

Unsuback

{
    cmd: 'unsuback'
  , messageId: 42
}

All properties are mandatory.

Publish

{
    cmd: 'publish'
  , messageId: 42
  , qos: 2
  , dup: false
  , topic: 'test'
  , payload: new Buffer('test')
  , retain: false
}

Only the topic and properties are mandatory Both topic and payload can be Buffer objects instead of strings. messageId is mandatory for qos > 0.

If payload is passed to generate(packet) as a string, it will be automatically converted into a Buffer.

Puback

{
    cmd: 'puback'
  , messageId: 42
}

The only mandatory argument is messageId, as generate will throw if missing.

Pubrec

{
    cmd: 'pubcomp'
  , messageId: 42
}

The only mandatory argument is messageId, as generate will throw if missing.

Pubrel

{
    cmd: 'pubrel'
  , messageId: 42
}

The only mandatory argument is messageId, as generate will throw if missing.

Pubcomp

{
    cmd: 'pubcomp'
  , messageId: 42
}

The only mandatory argument is messageId, as generate will throw if missing.

Pingreq

{
  cmd: 'pingreq'
}

Pingresp

{
  cmd: 'pingresp'
}

Disconnect

{
  cmd: 'pingresp'
}
