## Next major version of MQTT.js
There is work being done on the next generation of MQTT.js (vNext). We invite the community to provide their contributions [this repository](https://github.com/mqttjs/mqttjs-v5)

<a name="notes"></a>
## Important notes for existing users

__v4.0.0__ (Released 04/2020) removes support for all end of life node versions, and now supports node v12 and v14. It also adds improvements to
debug logging, along with some feature additions.

As a __breaking change__, by default a error handler is built into the MQTT.js client, so if any
errors are emitted and the user has not created an event handler on the client for errors, the client will
not break as a result of unhandled errors. Additionally, typical TLS errors like `ECONNREFUSED`, `ECONNRESET` have been
added to a list of TLS errors that will be emitted from the MQTT.js client, and so can be handled as connection errors.

__v3.0.0__ adds support for MQTT 5, support for node v10.x, and many fixes to improve reliability.

__Note:__ MQTT v5 support is experimental as it has not been implemented by brokers yet.

__v2.0.0__ removes support for node v0.8, v0.10 and v0.12, and it is 3x faster in sending
packets. It also removes all the deprecated functionality in v1.0.0,
mainly `mqtt.createConnection` and `mqtt.Server`. From v2.0.0,
subscriptions are restored upon reconnection if `clean: true`.
v1.x.x is now in *LTS*, and it will keep being supported as long as
there are v0.8, v0.10 and v0.12 users.

As a __breaking change__, the `encoding` option in the old client is
removed, and now everything is UTF-8 with the exception of the
`password` in the CONNECT message and `payload` in the PUBLISH message,
which are `Buffer`.

Another __breaking change__ is that MQTT.js now defaults to MQTT v3.1.1,
so to support old brokers, please read the [client options doc](#client).

__v1.0.0__ improves the overall architecture of the project, which is now
split into three components: MQTT.js keeps the Client,
[mqtt-connection](http://npm.im/mqtt-connection) includes the barebone
Connection code for server-side usage, and [mqtt-packet](http://npm.im/mqtt-packet)
includes the protocol parser and generator. The new Client improves
performance by a 30% factor, embeds Websocket support
([MOWS](http://npm.im/mows) is now deprecated), and it has a better
support for QoS 1 and 2. The previous API is still supported but
deprecated, as such, it is not documented in this README.

<a name="install"></a>
## Installation

```sh
npm install mqtt --save
```

<a name="example"></a>
## Example

For the sake of simplicity, let's put the subscriber and the publisher in the same file:

```js
const mqtt = require('mqtt')
const client  = mqtt.connect('mqtt://test.mosquitto.org')

client.on('connect', function () {
  client.subscribe('presence', function (err) {
    if (!err) {
      client.publish('presence', 'Hello mqtt')
    }
  })
})

client.on('message', function (topic, message) {
  // message is Buffer
  console.log(message.toString())
  client.end()
})
```

output:
```
Hello mqtt
```

If you want to run your own MQTT broker, you can use
[Mosquitto](http://mosquitto.org) or
[Aedes-cli](https://github.com/moscajs/aedes-cli), and launch it.

You can also use a test instance: test.mosquitto.org.

If you do not want to install a separate broker, you can try using the
[Aedes](https://github.com/moscajs/aedes).

to use MQTT.js in the browser see the [browserify](#browserify) section

<a name="import_styles"></a>
## Import styles
### CommonJS (Require)
```js
const mqtt = require('mqtt')  // require mqtt
const client = mqtt.connect('est.mosquitto.org')  // create a client
```
### ES6 Modules (Import)
#### Aliased wildcard import
```js
import * as mqtt from "mqtt"  // import everything inside the mqtt module and give it the namespace "mqtt"
let client = mqtt.connect('mqtt://test.mosquitto.org') // create a client
```
#### Importing individual components
```js
import { connect } from "mqtt"  // import connect from mqtt
let client = connect('mqtt://test.mosquitto.org') // create a client
```

<a name="promises"></a>
## Promise support

If you want to use the new [async-await](https://blog.risingstack.com/async-await-node-js-7-nightly/) functionality in JavaScript, or just prefer using Promises instead of callbacks, [async-mqtt](https://github.com/mqttjs/async-mqtt) is a wrapper over MQTT.js which uses promises instead of callbacks when possible.

<a name="cli"></a>
## Command Line Tools

MQTT.js bundles a command to interact with a broker.
In order to have it available on your path, you should install MQTT.js
globally:

```sh
npm install mqtt -g
```

Then, on one terminal

```
mqtt sub -t 'hello' -h 'test.mosquitto.org' -v
```

On another

```
mqtt pub -t 'hello' -h 'test.mosquitto.org' -m 'from MQTT.js'
```

See `mqtt help <command>` for the command help.

<a name="debug"></a>
## Debug Logs

MQTT.js uses the [debug](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug#cmd) package for debugging purposes. To enable debug logs, add the following environment variable on runtime :
```ps
# (example using PowerShell, the VS Code default)
$env:DEBUG='mqttjs*'

```

<a name="reconnecting"></a>
## About Reconnection

An important part of any websocket connection is what to do when a connection
drops off and the client needs to reconnect. MQTT has built-in reconnection
support that can be configured to behave in ways that suit the application.

#### Refresh Authentication Options / Signed Urls with `transformWsUrl` (Websocket Only)

When an mqtt connection drops and needs to reconnect, it's common to require
that any authentication associated with the connection is kept current with
the underlying auth mechanism. For instance some applications may pass an auth
token with connection options on the initial connection, while other cloud
services may require a url be signed with each connection.

By the time the reconnect happens in the application lifecycle, the original
auth data may have expired.

To address this we can use a hook called `transformWsUrl` to manipulate
either of the connection url or the client options at the time of a reconnect.

Example (update clientId & username on each reconnect):
```
    const transformWsUrl = (url, options, client) => {
      client.options.username = `token=${this.get_current_auth_token()}`;
      client.options.clientId = `${this.get_updated_clientId()}`;

      return `${this.get_signed_cloud_url(url)`;
    }

    const connection = await mqtt.connectAsync(<wss url>, {
      ...,
      transformWsUrl: transformUrl,
    });

```
Now every time a new WebSocket connection is opened (hopefully not too often),
we will get a fresh signed url or fresh auth token data.

Note: Currently this hook does _not_ support promises, meaning that in order to
use the latest auth token, you must have some outside mechanism running that
handles application-level authentication refreshing so that the websocket
connection can simply grab the latest valid token or signed url.


#### Enabling Reconnection with `reconnectPeriod` option

To ensure that the mqtt client automatically tries to reconnect when the
connection is dropped, you must set the client option `reconnectPeriod` to a
value greater than 0. A value of 0 will disable reconnection and then terminate
the final connection when it drops.

The default value is 1000 ms which means it will try to reconnect 1 second
after losing the connection.

## About Topic Alias Management

### Enabling automatic Topic Alias using
If the client sets the option `autoUseTopicAlias:true` then MQTT.js uses existing topic alias automatically.

example scenario:
```
1. PUBLISH topic:'t1', ta:1                   (register)
2. PUBLISH topic:'t1'       -> topic:'', ta:1 (auto use existing map entry)
3. PUBLISH topic:'t2', ta:1                   (register overwrite)
4. PUBLISH topic:'t2'       -> topic:'', ta:1 (auto use existing map entry based on the receent map)
5. PUBLISH topic:'t1'                         (t1 is no longer mapped to ta:1)
```

User doesn't need to manage which topic is mapped to which topic alias.
If the user want to register topic alias, then publish topic with topic alias.
If the user want to use topic alias, then publish topic without topic alias. If there is a mapped topic alias then added it as a property and update the topic to empty string.

### Enabling  automatic Topic Alias assign

If the client sets the option `autoAssignTopicAlias:true` then MQTT.js uses existing topic alias automatically.
If no topic alias exists, then assign a new vacant topic alias automatically. If topic alias is fully used, then LRU(Least Recently Used) topic-alias entry is overwritten.

example scenario:
```
The broker returns CONNACK (TopicAliasMaximum:3)
1. PUBLISH topic:'t1' -> 't1', ta:1 (auto assign t1:1 and register)
2. PUBLISH topic:'t1' -> ''  , ta:1 (auto use existing map entry)
3. PUBLISH topic:'t2' -> 't2', ta:2 (auto assign t1:2 and register. 2 was vacant)
4. PUBLISH topic:'t3' -> 't3', ta:3 (auto assign t1:3 and register. 3 was vacant)
5. PUBLISH topic:'t4' -> 't4', ta:1 (LRU entry is overwritten)
```

Also user can manually register topic-alias pair using PUBLISH topic:'some', ta:X. It works well with automatic topic alias assign.

<a name="connect"></a>
### mqtt.connect([url], options)

Connects to the broker specified by the given url and options and
returns a [Client](#client).

The URL can be on the following protocols: 'mqtt', 'mqtts', 'tcp',
'tls', 'ws', 'wss', 'wxs', 'alis'. The URL can also be an object as returned by
[`URL.parse()`](http://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstr_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost),
in that case the two objects are merged, i.e. you can pass a single
object with both the URL and the connect options.

You can also specify a `servers` options with content: `[{ host:
'localhost', port: 1883 }, ... ]`, in that case that array is iterated
at every connect.

For all MQTT-related options, see the [Client](#client)
constructor.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="client"></a>
### mqtt.Client(streamBuilder, options)

The `Client` class wraps a client connection to an
MQTT broker over an arbitrary transport method (TCP, TLS,
WebSocket, ecc).

`Client` automatically handles the following:

* Regular server pings
* QoS flow
* Automatic reconnections
* Start publishing before being connected

The arguments are:

* `streamBuilder` is a function that returns a subclass of the `Stream` class that supports
the `connect` event. Typically a `net.Socket`.
* `options` is the client connection options (see: the [connect packet](https://github.com/mcollina/mqtt-packet#connect)). Defaults:
  * `wsOptions`: is the WebSocket connection options. Default is `{}`.
     It's specific for WebSockets. For possible options have a look at: https://github.com/websockets/ws/blob/master/doc/ws.md.
  * `keepalive`: `60` seconds, set to `0` to disable
  * `reschedulePings`: reschedule ping messages after sending packets (default `true`)

  * `protocolId`: `'MQTT'`
  * `protocolVersion`: `4`
  * `clean`: `true`, set to false to receive QoS 1 and 2 messages while
    offline
  * `reconnectPeriod`: `1000` milliseconds, interval between two
    reconnections. Disable auto reconnect by setting to `0`.
  * `connectTimeout`: `30 * 1000` milliseconds, time to wait before a
    CONNACK is received
  * `username`: the username required by your broker, if any
  * `password`: the password required by your broker, if any
  * `incomingStore`: a [Store](#store) for the incoming packets
  * `outgoingStore`: a [Store](#store) for the outgoing packets
  * `queueQoSZero`: if connection is broken, queue outgoing QoS zero messages (default `true`)
  * `customHandleAcks`: MQTT 5 feature of custom handling puback and pubrec packets. Its callback:
      ```js
        customHandleAcks: function(topic, message, packet, done) {/*some logic wit colling done(error, reasonCode)*/}
      ```
  * `autoUseTopicAlias`: enabling automatic Topic Alias using functionality
  * `autoAssignTopicAlias`: enabling automatic Topic Alias assign functionality

    * `sessionExpiryInterval`: representing the Session Expiry Interval in seconds `number`,
    * `receiveMaximum`: representing the Receive Maximum value `number`,
    * `maximumPacketSize`: representing the Maximum Packet Size the Client is willing to accept `number`,
    * `topicAliasMaximum`: representing the Topic Alias Maximum value indicates the highest value that the Client will accept as a Topic Alias sent by the Server `number`,
    * `requestResponseInformation`: The Client uses this value to request the Server to return Response Information in the CONNACK `boolean`,
    * `requestProblemInformation`: The Client uses this value to indicate whether the Reason String or User Properties are sent in the case of failures `boolean`,
    * `userProperties`: The User Property is allowed to appear multiple times to represent multiple name, value pairs `object`,
    * `authenticationMethod`: the name of the authentication method used for extended authentication `string`,
    * `authenticationData`: Binary Data containing authentication data `binary`
  * `authPacket`: settings for auth packet `object`
  * `will`: a message that will sent by the broker automatically when
     the client disconnect badly. The format is:
    * `topic`: the topic to publish
    * `payload`: the message to publish
    * `qos`: the QoS
    * `retain`: the retain flag
    * `properties`: properties of will by MQTT 5.0:
      * `willDelayInterval`: representing the Will Delay Interval in seconds `number`,
      * `payloadFormatIndicator`: Will Message is UTF-8 Encoded Character Data or not `boolean`,
      * `messageExpiryInterval`: value is the lifetime of the Will Message in seconds and is sent as the Publication Expiry Interval when the Server publishes the Will Message `number`,

  * `transformWsUrl` : optional `(url, options, client) => url` function
        For ws/wss protocols only. Can be used to implement signing
        urls which upon reconnect can have become expired.
  * `resubscribe` : if connection is broken and reconnects,
     subscribed topics are automatically subscribed again (default `true`)
  * `messageIdProvider`: custom messageId provider. when `new UniqueMessageIdProvider()` is set, then non conflict messageId is provided.

In case mqtts (mqtt over tls) is required, the `options` object is
passed through to
[`tls.connect()`](http://nodejs.org/api/tls.html#tls_tls_connect_options_callback).
If you are using a **self-signed certificate**, pass the `rejectUnauthorized: false` option.
Beware that you are exposing yourself to man in the middle attacks, so it is a configuration
that is not recommended for production environments.

If you are connecting to a broker that supports only MQTT 3.1 (not
3.1.1 compliant), you should pass these additional options:

```js
{
  protocolId: 'MQIsdp',
  protocolVersion: 3
}
```

This is confirmed on RabbitMQ 3.2.4, and on Mosquitto < 1.3. Mosquitto
version 1.3 and 1.4 works fine without those.

#### Event `'connect'`

`function (connack) {}`

Emitted on successful (re)connection (i.e. connack rc=0).
* `connack` received connack packet. When `clean` connection option is `false` and server has a previous session
for `clientId` connection option, then `connack.sessionPresent` flag is `true`. When that is the case,
you may rely on stored session and prefer not to send subscribe commands for the client.

#### Event `'reconnect'`

`function () {}`

Emitted when a reconnect starts.

#### Event `'close'`

`function () {}`

Emitted after a disconnection.

#### Event `'disconnect'`

`function (packet) {}`

Emitted after receiving disconnect packet from broker. MQTT 5.0 feature.

#### Event `'offline'`

`function () {}`

Emitted when the client goes offline.

#### Event `'error'`

`function (error) {}`

Emitted when the client cannot connect (i.e. connack rc != 0) or when a
parsing error occurs.

The following TLS errors will be emitted as an `error` event:

* `ECONNREFUSED`
* `ECONNRESET`
* `EADDRINUSE`
* `ENOTFOUND`

#### Event `'end'`

`function () {}`

Emitted when <a href="#end"><code>mqtt.Client#<b>end()</b></code></a> is called.
If a callback was passed to `mqtt.Client#end()`, this event is emitted once the
callback returns.

#### Event `'message'`

`function (topic, message, packet) {}`

Emitted when the client receives a publish packet
* `topic` topic of the received packet
* `message` payload of the received packet
* `packet` received packet, as defined in

Number : get last message id. This is for sent messages only.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="reconnecting"></a>
### mqtt.Client#reconnecting

Boolean : set to `true` if the client is trying to reconnect to the server. `false` otherwise.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="store"></a>
### mqtt.Store(options)

In-memory implementation of the message store.

* `options` is the store options:
  * `clean`: `true`, clean inflight messages when close is called (default `true`)

Other implementations of `mqtt.Store`:

* [mqtt-level-store](http://npm.im/mqtt-level-store) which uses
  [Level-browserify](http://npm.im/level-browserify) to store the inflight
  data, making it usable both in Node and the Browser.
* [mqtt-nedb-store](https://github.com/behrad/mqtt-nedb-store) which
  uses [nedb](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nedb) to store the inflight
  data.
* [mqtt-localforage-store](http://npm.im/mqtt-localforage-store) which uses
  [localForage](http://npm.im/localforage) to store the inflight
  data, making it usable in the Browser without browserify.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="put"></a>
### mqtt.Store#put(packet, callback)

Adds a packet to the store, a packet is
anything that has a `messageId` property.
The callback is called when the packet has been stored.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="createStream"></a>
### mqtt.Store#createStream()

Creates a stream with all the packets in the store.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="del"></a>
### mqtt.Store#del(packet, cb)

Removes a packet from the store, a packet is
anything that has a `messageId` property.
The callback is called when the packet has been removed.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="close"></a>
### mqtt.Store#close(cb)

Closes the Store.

<a name="browser"></a>
## Browser

<a name="cdn"></a>
### Via CDN

The MQTT.js bundle is available through http://unpkg.com, specifically
at https://unpkg.com/mqtt/dist/mqtt.min.js.
See http://unpkg.com for the full documentation on version ranges.

<a name="browserify"></a>
### Browserify

In order to use MQTT.js as a browserify module you can either require it in your browserify bundles or build it as a stand alone module. The exported module is AMD/CommonJs compatible and it will add an object in the global space.

```bash
mkdir tmpdir
cd tmpdir
npm install mqtt
npm install browserify
npm install tinyify
cd node_modules/mqtt/
npm install .
npx browserify mqtt.js -s mqtt >browserMqtt.js // use script tag
# show size for compressed browser transfer
gzip <browserMqtt.js | wc -c
```

**Be sure to only use this bundle with `ws` or `wss` URLs in the browser. Others URL types will likey fail**

<a name="webpack"></a>
### Webpack

Just like browserify, export MQTT.js as library. The exported module would be `const mqtt = xxx` and it will add an object in the global space. You could also export module in other [formats (AMD/CommonJS/others)](http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#output-librarytarget) by setting **output.libraryTarget** in webpack configuration.

```javascript
npm install -g webpack // install webpack

cd node_modules/mqtt
npm install . // install dev dependencies
webpack mqtt.js ./browserMqtt.js --output-library mqtt
```

you can then use mqtt.js in the browser with the same api than node's one.

```html
<html>
<head>
  <title>test Ws mqtt.js</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="./browserMqtt.js"></script>
<script>
  const client = mqtt.connect() // you add a ws:// url here
  client.subscribe("mqtt/demo")

  client.on("message", function (topic, payload) {
    alert([topic, payload].join(": "))
    client.end()
  })

  client.publish("mqtt/demo", "hello world!")
</script>
</body>
</html>
```

### React
```
npm install -g webpack                    // Install webpack globally
npm install mqtt                          // Install MQTT library
cd node_modules/mqtt
npm install .                             // Install dev deps at current dir
webpack mqtt.js --output-library mqtt     // Build

// now you can import the library with ES6 import, commonJS not tested
```


```javascript
import React from 'react';
import mqtt from 'mqtt';

export default () => {
  const [connectionStatus, setConnectionStatus] = React.useState(false);
  const [messages, setMessages] = React.useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const client = mqtt.connect(SOME_URL);
    client.on('connect', () => setConnectionStatus(true));
    client.on('message', (topic, payload, packet) => {
      setMessages(messages.concat(payload.toString()));
    });
  }, []);

  return (
    <>
     {messages.map((message) => (
        <h2>{message}</h2>
     )
    </>
  )
}
```

Your broker should accept websocket connection (see [MQTT over Websockets](https://github.com/moscajs/aedes/blob/master/docs/Examples.md#mqtt-server-over-websocket-using-server-factory) to setup [Aedes](https://github.com/moscajs/aedes)).

<a name="qos"></a>
## About QoS

Here is how QoS works:

* QoS 0 : received **at most once** : The packet is sent, and that's it. There is no validation about whether it has been received.
* QoS 1 : received **at least once** : The packet is sent and stored as long as the client has not received a confirmation from the server. MQTT ensures that it *will* be received, but there can be duplicates.
* QoS 2 : received **exactly once** : Same as QoS 1 but there is no duplicates.

About data consumption, obviously, QoS 2 > QoS 1 > QoS 0, if that's a concern to you.

## Usage with TypeScript
This repo bundles TypeScript definition files for use in TypeScript projects and to support tools that can read `.d.ts` files.

### Pre-requisites
Before you can begin using these TypeScript definitions with your project, you need to make sure your project meets these requirements:
 * TypeScript >= 2.1
 * Set tsconfig.json: `{"compilerOptions" : {"moduleResolution" : "node"}, ...}`
 * Includes the TypeScript definitions for Node and [ws](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws). These types are used as
   parameters to some of the MQTT client's APIs and if you don't install them they get treated as `any`, which means you lose type
   safety.
   Use npm to install them by typing the following into a terminal window:
   `npm install --save-dev @types/node @types/ws`

### TypeScript example
```
import * as mqtt from "mqtt"
let client : mqtt.MqttClient = mqtt.connect('mqtt://test.mosquitto.org')
```
