Namespace: eFTL

Methods

connect(url, options)

Connect to an eFTL server.

This call returns immediately; connecting continues asynchronously. When the connection is ready to use, the eFTL library calls your onConnect callback, passing an eFTLConnection object that you can use to publish and subscribe.

A program that uses more than one server channel must connect separately to each channel.

Parameters:
