meshblu.createConnection is not a function

[rizvanhaider]

after deplying meshblu locally,

• mongodb is running
• redis is running
• meshblu is running on 3000
• meshblu status is online
• device is created using via -POST http://localhost:3000/devices

running the blow script give the error :

TypeError: meshblu.createConnection is not a function at Object.<anonymous> (E:\iot\meshblu\ping.js:4:20) at Module._compile (module.js:570:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10) at run (bootstrap_node.js:394:7) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:149:9) at bootstrap_node.js:509:3

Hello Rizwan,

Instead of calling meshblu.createConnection, make your conn equal to a new meshblu, as show below:

var meshblu = require('meshblu');

// Not specifying a UUID/Token auto-registers a new device
var conn = new meshblu({
  resolveSrv: true,
});

conn.on('notReady', function(data){
    console.log('UUID FAILED AUTHENTICATION!');
    console.log(data);
});

conn.on('ready', function(data){
    console.log('UUID AUTHENTICATED!');
    console.log(data);

    setInterval(function(){
        console.log("sending message");
        conn.message({
            "devices": data.uuid,
            "payload": {
                "hello":"world"
            }
        });
    },300);

    conn.on('message', function(data){
        console.log('message received');
        console.log(data);
    });

});

conn.connect();

Also note the last line, which actually starts the connection.
