Instance methods

checkOpen

Checks if the connection is open.
Raises an error if the connection is closed.

protected checkOpen(): void

close

Closes a component and frees used resources.

public close(correlationId: string): Promise<void>

  • correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

configure

Configures the component by passing its configuration parameters.

public configure(config: ConfigParams): void

  • config: ConfigParams - configuration parameters to be set.

createQueue

Creates a message queue. If the connection doesn’t support this function, it exists without error.

public createQueue(name: string): Promise<void>

  • name: string - name of the queue to be created.

deleteQueue

Deletes a message queue. If connection doesn’t support this function, it exists without error.

public deleteQueue(name: string): Promise<void>

  • name: string - name of the queue to be deleted.

getConnection

Gets the connection.

public getConnection(): any

  • returns: any - connection to a MySQL database

isOpen

Checks if the component is open.

public isOpen(): boolean

  • returns: boolean - true if the component is open and false otherwise.

open

Opens the component.

public open(correlationId: string): Promise<void>

  • correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

publish

Publish a message to a specified topic.

public publish(topic: string, data: Buffer, options: any): Promise<void>

  • topic: string - topic name
  • data: Buffer - message to be published
  • options: any - publishing options

readQueueNames

Reads a list of registered queue names. If the connection doesn’t support this function, it returns an empty list.

public readQueueNames(): Promise<string[]>

  • returns: Promise<string[]> - queue names.

setReferences

Sets references to dependent components.

public setReferences(references: IReferences): void

  • references: IReferences - references to locate the component dependencies.

subscribe

Subscribes to a topic

public subscribe(topic: string, options: any, listener: IMqttMessageListener): Promise<void>

  • topic: string - topic name
  • options: any - subscription options
  • listener: IMqttMessageListener - message listener

unsubscribe

Unsubscribes from a previously subscribed topic.

public unsubscribe(topic: string, listener: IMqttMessageListener: Promise<void>
