Usage

Subscribe to a topic

To subscribe to a topic you can simply add the topic to the topics array in the config/mqtt.ts file.

subscriber: {
    topics: ["my/topic"],
},

Or you can use the subscribe method.

import Mqtt from '@tidaly/mqtt';

await Mqtt.subscribe('my/topic');

Then, when a message is received the mqtt:message event will be emitted.

Create a event listener to handle the message.

import Event from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Event';
import Logger from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Logger';

Event.on('mqtt:message', (topic: string, message: string) => {
	Logger.info(`Message received on topic ${topic}: ${message}`);
});

Publish to a topic

To publish to a topic you can use the publish method.

import Mqtt from '@tidaly/mqtt';

class MyController {
	public async publish({ request }: HttpContextContract) {
		const { topic, message } = request.only(['topic', 'message']);

		await Mqtt.publish(topic, message);
	}
}
