# Why this library?

The implementation for **MQTT** in Javascript is [MQTT.js](https://github.com/mqttjs/MQTT.js). It is able to handle MQTT messages but it doesn't have

a built-in message dispatcher. You can subscribe different topics, but all messages are handled by a single event listener `on('message', cb)`.

This library provides a dispatch system that connects a **subscribe** operation with a specific callback. A callback is called only when an incoming message matches the provided pattern.

# Install

````

npm install mqtt-dispatcher

````

# Example

```javascript

const mqtt = require('mqtt')

const MqttDispatcher = require('mqtt-dispatcher')

const client = mqtt.connect('mqtt://broker.hivemq.com:1883')

const dispatcher = new MqttDispatcher(client)

client.on('connect', () => console.log('connected'));

(async () => {

  await dispatcher.addRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/logout', (topic, message) => {

    console.log('RECEIVED MESSAGE', message.toString())

  })

  await dispatcher.addRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/restart', (topic, message) => {

    console.log('RECEIVED MESSAGE', message.toString())

  })

  await dispatcher.addRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/shutdown', (topic, message) => {

    console.log('RECEIVED MESSAGE', message.toString())

  })

  client.publish('mqtt-dispatcher/command/logout', 'logout command')

  client.publish('mqtt-dispatcher/command/restart', 'restart command')

  client.publish('mqtt-dispatcher/command/shutdown', 'shutdown command')

  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000))

  await dispatcher.removeRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/logout')

  await dispatcher.removeRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/restart')

  await dispatcher.removeRule('mqtt-dispatcher/command/shutdown')

  client.end(() => console.log('end'))

})()

```
