✨ Features

• Automatically scaffolds MQTT service publisher/subscriber client skeleton projects.
• Multi-language and multi-platform support: Python (paho), C (mosquitto), Node.js (node), and Node.js WebSocket (node_ws).
• Granular generation control via --role {subscriber,publisher,both} and --scope {module,demo}.
• Engineered with OOP, SOLID principles, and Clean Architecture (PEP 544 structural protocols in Python).
• Command line interface (CLI) support via structured command and executor layers.
• Robust validation of project bundles, dependencies, and generation parameters.
• Configurable compressed templates (templates.tgz) and JSON schema definitions.
• Production code quality with 100% test coverage and strict type annotations.

🛠 Usage

Install package

pip3 install gen_mqtt_service

Prepare main entry point by downloading main.py or create your own.

wget -O main.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vroncevic/gen_mqtt_service/main/main.py

Running tool for creating new MqttService project skeleton:

# Python Paho complete demo (both publisher & subscriber)
python3 main.py create --name mytool --type paho --output ./demo/

# Python Paho publisher module only (for embedding in existing services)
python3 main.py create --name mypub --type paho --role publisher --scope module --output ./services/

# C Mosquitto subscriber demo
python3 main.py create --name myclient --type mosquitto --role subscriber --scope demo --output ./demo/

# Node.js standard MQTT demo
python3 main.py create --name node_mqtt --type node --role both --scope demo --output ./demo/

# Node.js WebSocket MQTT with embedded Aedes broker
python3 main.py create --name node_ws_svc --type node_ws --role both --scope demo --output ./demo/

For complete architecture details, design patterns, and instructions for building and running each template, see the Templates Architecture & Usage Guide.
