Part of: Microservices

IClientReconnectOptions defines the MQTT message stores used when an MQTT client reconnects. It provides separate stores for incoming and outgoing packets so message state can be preserved or restored across connection interruptions.

Usage

ts
import type { IClientReconnectOptions } from './mqtt-options.interface';

const reconnectOptions: IClientReconnectOptions = {
  incomingStore: new Map(),
  outgoingStore: new Map(),
};

// Pass the stores into the MQTT client reconnect configuration.
function configureReconnect(options: IClientReconnectOptions) {
  return {
    incomingStore: options.incomingStore,
    outgoingStore: options.outgoingStore,
  };
}

const mqttReconnectConfig = configureReconnect(reconnectOptions);

AI Coding Instructions

  • Provide both incomingStore and outgoingStore when configuring reconnect behavior.
  • Use stores that match the MQTT client's expected store implementation; avoid assuming any accepts arbitrary incompatible values.
  • Preserve store instances across reconnect attempts when pending packet state must survive temporary disconnections.
  • Ensure outgoing stores can retain unacknowledged QoS messages so they can be resent after reconnection.
  • Integrate these options with the underlying MQTT client configuration rather than handling packet restoration manually.
