How can I implement the MQTT protocol in the SDK?

[flic r]

I checked out the JavaScript mqtt.js module but that comes to a total of 16.000 lines of JS code and as I am not an expert in JS programming, I was wondering if it is really worth to copy&paste this into the module on the hub and try to get it running from there.

My purpose would be just to publish MQTT requests directly to a MQTT broker. Nothing fancy. (this would be better than using a HTTP-to-MQTT gateway).

Any hints?

PS: Better would be to have MQTT already there.

PPS: Node.js is the basis for the SDK, as I understand, so why not implement MQTT from Node.js as well?

Hi, please refer to the newest topic. https://community.flic.io/topic/18233/release-of-mqtt-client?_=1674825212929
We now provide an MQTT client.

I think a mqtt client would be more than enough. Preferably with TLS support.
No need for a server

@xAPPO thx for asking. I started out with the following MQTT implementation (without having tried anything yet):

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mqtt/v/2.9.0#browserify

I couldn't find a simple "publish" javascript implementation for use - that would have been my ideal solution.

Any ideas or hints?

Is the code you looked at just a client or implements a server too which would really add to the code complexity and size ?
