DESCRIPTION

AnyEvent module for MQTT client.

IMPORTANT: This is an early release and the API is still subject to change.

METHODS

new(%params)

Constructs a new "AnyEvent::MQTT" object. The supported parameters are:
"host"

The server host. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.

"port"

The server port. Defaults to 1883.

"timeout"

The timeout for responses from the server.

"keep_alive_timer"

The keep alive timer.

"user_name"

The user name for the MQTT broker.

"password"

The password for the MQTT broker.

"tls"

Set flag to enable TLS encryption, Default is no encryption.

"will_topic"

Set topic for will message. Default is undef which means no will message will be configured.

"will_qos"

Set QoS for will message. Default is 'at−most−once'.

"will_retain"

Set retain flag for will message. Default is 0.

"will_message"

Set message for will message. Default is the empty message.

"clean_session"

Set clean session flag for connect message. Default is 1.

"client_id"

Sets the client id for the client overriding the default which is "NetMQTTpmNNNNN" where NNNNN is the current process id.

"message_log_callback"

Defines a callback to call on every message.

"on_error"

Defines a callback to call when some error occurs.

Two parameters are passed to the callback.

$on_error−>($fatal, $message)

where $fatal is a boolean flag and $message is the error message. If the error is fatal, $fatal is true.

"handle_args"

a reference to a list to pass as arguments to the
L<AnyEvent::Handle> constructor (defaults to
an empty list reference).

cleanup()

This method attempts to destroy any resources in the event of a disconnection or fatal error.

publish( %parameters )

This method is used to publish to a given topic. It returns an AnyEvent condvar which is notified when the publish is complete (written to the kernel or ack'd depending on the QoS level). The parameter hash must included at least a topic value and one of:
message

with a string value which is published to the topic,

handle

the value of which must either be an L<AnyEvent::Handle> or will be
passed to an L<AnyEvent::Handle> constructor as the C<fh> argument.
The L<push_read()> method is called on the L<AnyEvent::Handle> with a
callback that will publish each chunk read to the topic.

The parameter hash may also keys for:
"qos"

to set the QoS level for published messages (default
MQTT_QOS_AT_MOST_ONCE),

"handle_args"

a reference to a list to pass as arguments to the
L<AnyEvent::Handle> constructor in the final case above (defaults to
an empty list reference), or

"push_read_args"

a reference to a list to pass as the arguments to the
L<AnyEvent::Handle#push_read> method (defaults to ['line'] to read,
and subsequently publish, a line at a time.

next_message_id()

Returns a 16−bit number to use as the next message id in a message requiring an acknowledgement.

subscribe( %parameters )

This method subscribes to the given topic. The parameter hash may contain values for the following keys:
topic

for the topic to subscribe to (this is required),

callback

for the callback to call with messages (this is required),

qos

QoS level to use (default is MQTT_QOS_AT_MOST_ONCE),

L<AnyEvent> condvar to use to signal the subscription is complete.
The received value will be the negotiated QoS level.

This method returns the value of the cv parameter if it was supplied or an AnyEvent condvar created for this purpose.

unsubscribe( %parameters )

This method unsubscribes to the given topic. The parameter hash may contain values for the following keys:
topic

for the topic to unsubscribe from (this is required),

callback

for the callback to call with messages (this is optional and currently
not supported − all callbacks are unsubscribed),

L<AnyEvent> condvar to use to signal the unsubscription is complete.

This method returns the value of the cv parameter if it was supplied or an AnyEvent condvar created for this purpose.

"connect( [ $msg ] )"

This method starts the connection to the server. It will be called lazily when required publish or subscribe so generally is should not be necessary to call it directly.

anyevent_read_type()

This method is used to register an AnyEvent::Handle read type method to read MQTT messages.
