Lightweight Message Queuing Network (LwMQN) is an open source project that follows part of OMA LwM2M v1.0 specification to meet the minimum requirements of machine network management.

• LwMQN project provides you with this machine-side @lwmqn/qnode library and a server-side @lwmqn/shepherd library to build your machine network with JavaScript and Node.js easily.

• Server-side library: @lwmqn/shepherd (this module)
• Client-side library: @lwmqn/qnode
• A simple demo webapp

• Communication based on MQTT protocol and Mosca broker.
• Embedded persistence (NeDB) and auto-reloads Client Devices at boot-up.
• Build your IoT network with or without cloud services.
• LwM2M-like interfaces for Client/Server interaction.
• Hierarchical Smart Object data model (IPSO), which leads to a comprehensive and consistent way in describing real-world gadgets.
• Easy to query resources on a Client Device with the URI-style path, and everything has been well-organized to ease the pain for you to create RPC interfaces for your webapps, such as RESTful and websocket-based APIs.
• LwMQN Server is your local machine gateway and application runner. But if you like to let your machines go up cloud, why not? It's Node.js!

• Server: LwMQN server
• Client or Client Device: LwMQN client (machine)
• Shepherd: Class exposed by require('@lwmqn/shepherd')
• Qnode: Class to create a software endpoint(proxy) of a remote Client Device on the server
• qserver: Instance of Shepherd Class
• qnode: Instance of Qnode Class

Currently Node.js 8.x LTS or higher is required.

$ npm install @lwmqn/shepherd

const Shepherd = require('@lwmqn/shepherd')
const qserver = new Shepherd() // create a LWMQN server

qserver.on('ready', function () {
  console.log('Server is ready.')
  // when server is ready, allow devices to join the network within 180 secs
  qserver.permitJoin(180)
})

qserver.start(function (err) { // start the sever
  if (err) console.log(err)
})

// That's all to start a LwMQN server.
// Now qserver is going to automatically tackle most of the network managing things.
