Connect with Rust

Below is an example using the paho.mqtt.rust crate with the TOKEN authentication mode configured on a Broker.

The example below creates a simple subscriber, sends a message to the configured topic, and waits until the message is received before exiting.

Make sure to set the BROKER_URI (e.g. mqtts://YOUR-BROKER.YOUR-NAMESPACE.cloudflarepubsub.com), BROKER_TOKEN (a valid auth token), and BROKER_TOPIC environmental variables before running the example program.

# in your Cargo.toml
paho-mqtt = "0.11.1"

Create a file called example.rs with the following content, and use cargo run to build and run the example:

use paho_mqtt::*;
use std::thread;
fn main() {
// Specify MQTT broker hostname: <broker name>.<namespace>.cloudflarepubsub.com
let uri = std::env::var("BROKER_URI").expect("URI must be set");
// Your JWT token
let jwt = std::env::var("BROKER_TOKEN").expect("JWT must be set");
// Specify a topic name
let topic = std::env::var("BROKER_TOPIC").expect("Topic must be set");
// Configure the MQTT client
let client_opts = CreateOptionsBuilder::new()
.mqtt_version(MQTT_VERSION_5)
.server_uri(uri)
.finalize();
// Connect options
let options = ConnectOptionsBuilder::new()
.ssl_options(SslOptions::default())
.clean_start(true)
.password(jwt)
.finalize();
// Create the MQTT client
let cli = Client::new(client_opts).expect("Error creating client");
// Connect to your broker
cli.connect(options).expect("Error connecting to broker");
// Message receiver
let rx = cli.start_consuming();
// Subscribe to a topic
cli.subscribe(&topic, 0)
.expect("Error subscribing to topic");
// Start waiting for messages
let reader = thread::spawn(move || match rx.recv().expect("Error receiving message") {
Some(message) => {
println!("{:?}", message);
}
None => {}
});
// Publish a message!
cli.publish(Message::new(topic, "My first MQTT message", 0))
.expect("Error publishing");
// Wait until we have received our message
let _ = reader.join();
// Good-Bye
cli.disconnect(DisconnectOptions::default())
.expect("Error disconnecting");
}
