[paho-dev] Typescript / Javascript Mqtt

[Luc Baumann <lb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Paho Community

We need to add custom headers to the Websocket for passing a reverse 
proxy with authentication and with a small change of 
https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.javascript this is possible.

We also created some Typings for the paho mqtt client and some helper 
functions to return Observables and handle reconnects within typescript. 
These are already in production and are working pretty well together 
with the paho javascript library.


Now my questions:

1. The javascript-project looks pretty dead (open PR's hanging since 
years), If I create a PR will someone merge it and create a release?

2. I would like to contribute a 
https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.typescript library based on the 
javascript one. Who would I need to ask for this?


I can also just create another paho-mqtt-ts library and publish it on 
npmjs but since we use paho for quite a while I would prefer to 
contribute something here.

I don't want to change to mqtt.js because we know it and it's 
limitations and programmed ways around it (and it's small and simple).

Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks

Luc
