[section:disconnecting_the_client Disconnecting the Client]
[nochunk]
The __Client__ remains active until it is either destroyed or explicitly stopped.
In idle mode, the __Client__ periodically sends __PINGREQ__ to the Broker to maintain a stable connection.
The proper way to stop the __Client__ is by calling either [refmem mqtt_client cancel] or [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect].
Invoking [refmem mqtt_client cancel] results in the __Client__ closing the connection to the Broker and cancelling all outstanding
asynchronous operations.
On the other hand, [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect] will first attempt to send a __DISCONNECT__ packet
[footnote The __Client__ will attempt to send the __DISCONNECT__ packet for `5 seconds`. Regardless of the outcome, the connection will be closed.]
to the Broker in order to notify it about the reason for disconnection,
then close the connection and cancel all outstanding asynchronous operations (equal effect as [refmem mqtt_client cancel]).
[important Regardless of the method used to stop the __Client__, it is recommended to ensure that all the previous asynchronous operations are
completed. Otherwise, they *will be cancelled*.]
Invoking [refmem mqtt_client cancel] or [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect] will result in a clean and graceful shutdown process.
This ensures that all resources are properly released and all asynchronous operations are
completed [footnote All outstanding operations will complete with error code `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.].
Consequently, the execution context (__IOC__) will stop due to a lack of work.
[note The __Client__'s destructor will also call [refmem mqtt_client cancel]. ]
The following code snippet will showcase a scenario of disconnecting the __Client__ and its interaction with other
asynchronous operations.
[heading Example: immediate disconnection and its impact on outstanding asynchronous operations]
The following code snippet is an example of publishing a "Hello World!" message to the Broker with QoS `0`,
followed by the request to disconnect the __Client__.
```
int main() {
boost::asio::io_context ioc;
async_mqtt5::mqtt_client<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> client(ioc);
client.brokers("<your-mqtt-broker>", 1883)
.async_run(boost::asio::detached);
client.async_publish<async_mqtt5::qos_e::at_most_once>(
"<topic>", "Hello world!",
async_mqtt5::retain_e::no, async_mqtt5::publish_props {},
[](async_mqtt5::error_code ec) {
std::cout << ec.message() << std::endl;
}
);
client.async_disconnect(boost::asio::detached);
ioc.run();
}
```
Suppose the Broker is available and the __Client__ can successfully connect to it, then the following
order of events will unfold:
# The Client will successfully establish a connection to the Broker.
# The Client will send a __DISCONNECT__ packet with Reason Code `0x00` (`Normal Disconnection`).
It is important to note that the __PUBLISH__ packet containing the "Hello World!" message will not be transmitted.
As outlined in the `Packet Ordering` in [link async_mqtt5.optimising_communication Optimising communication] section,
[refmem mqtt_client async_publish] and [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect] will place their corresponding
packets in the queue. However, __DISCONNECT__ packets are prioritised and sent exclusively, ahead of other queued packets.
Therefore, the connection will terminate immediately.
If the __Client__ cannot establish a connection to the Broker,
it will be stopped after `5 seconds`, which is the amount of time the it will spend
trying to send the __DISCONNECT__ packet to the Broker before quitting.
This timeout mechanism ensures that the __Client__ does not indefinitely wait to disconnect,
preserving resources and maintaining efficient operation.
In this case, the proper way to disconnect would be to call [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect] after the
[refmem mqtt_client async_publish] has been completed.
```
client.async_publish<async_mqtt5::qos_e::at_most_once>(
"<topic>", "Hello world!",
async_mqtt5::retain_e::no, async_mqtt5::publish_props {},
[&client](async_mqtt5::error_code ec) {
std::cout << ec.message() << std::endl;
client.async_disconnect(boost::asio::detached);
}
);
```
[section:reusing_the_client Restarting the Client after disconnection]
Once the __Client__ has been successfully stopped, reactivating it is straightforward and requires invoking [refmem mqtt_client async_run].
This method can be called right after initiating [refmem mqtt_client async_disconnect], without waiting for it to complete.
The __Client__ is configurable again in the interval between stopping and restarting.
See `Customising your MQTT connection` in [link async_mqtt5.configuring_the_client Configuring the Client]
for more information.
```
int main() {
boost::asio::io_context ioc;
async_mqtt5::mqtt_client<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> client(ioc);
client.brokers("<your-mqtt-broker>", 1883)
.async_run(boost::asio::detached);
client.async_disconnect(boost::asio::detached);
// The Client can be reconfigured again.
client.connect_property(async_mqtt5::prop::session_expiry_interval, 120)
.keep_alive(30)
.async_run(boost::asio::detached); // Restart the Client again.
// Use the Client...
ioc.run();
}
```
