The MQTTListener SIB Listener listens to a topic on an MQTT service that might differ from the internal MQTT transport. When a message arrives the workflow is triggered.

• Subscribe: .custom.src.topic
  • on message:
    • Push relevant _sibheader information to _sibheader._store for later use
    • apply/copy SIBHeader
    • custom.inputFormat
    • Publish: .custom.topic

• Subscribe: .custom.topic/REQUEUE
  • on message:
    • Publish: msg._sibheader.topic

• Subscribe: .custom.topic/RESPONSE/#
  • on message:
    • custom.outputFormat
    • if stored _sibheader._store.[SID].responseTopic
      • reset msg._sibheader.topic and msg._sibheader.responseTopic from msg._sibheader._store
      • if custom.publishOutput
        • custom.publishOutput
      • else
        • Publish: msg._sibheader.responseTopic

• _id: The unique ID of this service
• _name: A plaintext description of this service
• inputFormat(topic, msg, callback): The method that is run on service activation. The original message is passed as the argument and the return value from this method must be a JSON formatted message conforming to the SIB message standard.

• publishOutput: If defined overrides the standard response publishing
• src: Object defining the source MQTT and topic to subscribe to
  • mqtt: The MQTT server to connect to for incoming messages, this might differ from the internal MQTT transport
  • topic: The topic to subscribe to for incoming messages
  • useenv: Boolean, default false. If true the src.topic will be prefixed with the process.env.NODE_ENV environment as all internal MQTT topics are
• mqtt: The MQTT connection string for the internal MQTT transport
