Get Push Messages by Pulsar (Node.js SDK)

Last Updated on : 2023-08-23 05:58:10download

A cloud project provides the message subscription feature. If the device status in the project changes, such as registration, data reporting, and offline events, Message Service is used to actively push event data to external partners with Pulsar. This helps to implement real-time and persistent messages.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a project. For more information about project creation, see Quick Start.
  • Message Service is enabled. For more information, see Message Service.
  • You have set up the development environment for Node.js.

Procedure

Currently, Tuya Smart Message Service is customized and modified based on open source Pulsar. The Pulsar SDK for Node.js is provided.
In this topic, the Node.js development tool WebStorm is used to receive messages.

Step 1: Download demo source code

Click Pulsar SDK for Node.js to download the package to the local computer and decompress the package.

Step 2: Set up the test environment

  1. Use WebStorm to open the source code project: Click Open to find the downloaded and decompressed file in the previous step.

  2. Add dependency environment.

    • crypto-js: 4.0.0 or later

    • ws: 7.4.5 or later

Step 3: Configure project parameters

Modify the parameters in the example/index.js file. This topic takes the test channel as an example.

const client = new TuyaWebsocket({
  accessId: "xt*****ff**n1****8ufo",
  accessKey: "479bcb7345******582d9c******4ef7",
  url: TuyaWebsocket.URL.CN,
  env: TuyaWebsocket.env.TEST, // Test channel
  maxRetryTimes: 50,
});

The parameters are described as follows.

  • accessId: Enter the value of Access ID in the Authorization Key section.

  • accessKey: Enter the value of Access Secret in the Authorization Key section.

  • url: Select an option for the area where the API operation is called. For more information about the parameters, see src/config.ts.

    • TuyaWebsocket.URL.CN (China): wss://mqe.tuyacn.com:8285/
    • TuyaWebsocket.URL.US (Western America): wss://mqe.tuyaus.com:8285/
    • TuyaWebsocket.URL.EU (Central Europe): wss://mqe.tuyaeu.com:8285/
    • TuyaWebsocket.URL.IN (India): wss://mqe.tuyain.com:8285/
  • env: message subscription channel.

    • TuyaWebsocket.env.PROD represents the formal environment.
    • TuyaWebsocket.env.TEST represents the test environment.
  • maxRetryTimes: the maximum number of reconnections.

    Note: TEST in env represents the test environment and PROD represents the formal environment.

Step 4: Operate a device on the app and receive messages in the test environment

  1. Configure a test device.

    1. On the page of Message Service, after your subscription is ready, Subscribed appears in the Status column. Click the Message Test tab.

    3. If an associated device is set as a test device, the message reported by it will be sent to the test channel for you to debug device functions.

  2. On the development tool WebStorm, open the Terminal and run the yarn code.

    1. yarn

    2. yarn example

    3. Execution result:
