Hi all! Let me introduce luamqtt - https://github.com/xHasKx/luamqtt - the MQTT client library for Lua programming language. It's not based on any C module and written in pure Lua code from scratch and completely follows OASIS standards for the MQTT v5.0 and the MQTT v3.1.1 protocols.
The only main dependency is a luasocket module to open a TCP connection. But there is a mechanism to implement your own functions to open a TCP connection and send/receive from it. It's used, for example, in the OpenResty to use its ngx.socket.tcp module instead of luasocket.
This is a thread for discussion, feedback and feature requests of the luamqtt. Alternatively, the GitHub issues are welcomed.
Awesome work, I just found it and looking to give it a try on LogicMachine which don't have mosquitto package available.
DmitryG, Thanks! And don't hesitate to post here your LogicMachine integration experience!
Thanks, the main challenge with LM is that it does not support libraries, a library should be wrapped as a user script, which is basically a single file. I'm still trying to get my head around on how to "compile" this as i'm not Lua expert, yet.
DmitryG So you have to emulate module loading by require() function: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#pdf-require You may try to wrap each module file into a function, returning the module table. And write your own require() function calling that module-emulating functions.
Do you succeed with opening TCP connection to internet from the LM device?
kial hi, I finally managed to find some time to try it out - seems to work without major changes, the only step i had to make is to pre-build scripts into single file and update bit logic wrapper (LM have built-in support bit.XXX functions, but not language "<<" feature)
Hi, it does have require(), however full module should be within a single file. Haven't had time to play around with that yet. I'm also waiting for forum account confirmation so I can get example of the other library wrapped from multiple source files. I will be making connections to local MQTT broker, but internet is also possible if network allows that.
DmitryG , FYI, from v3.1.1 luamqtt will not require "bit" module if used with Lua 5.2, because this Lua version has a built-in module "bit32". If your LM runtime has Lua 5.2 or higher - it can simplify your deploy process
