AWSIoTMQTTClient - how can I tell if the client is offline?

Question

Hello all,  
I am new to aws IoT and AWSIoTPythonSDK :)  
  
I have a python script (which is based on basicPubSub.py) that reads small files from directory and send their content to topic using  :  
self.myAWSIoTMQTTClient.publish(topic, message_to_send, 1)  
  
I have  long disconnection periodד, and i want to stop sending message to the topic while the device is offline (I dont want the messages to be send to the offline queue).  
Can I tell the client status using the SDK?  
  
p.s  
I thought about copy the logic from MqttCore.publish() method, but it based on:  
self._client_status.get_status()  
and I dont think I can access this data...  
  
p.s.s  
I can NOT use greengrass  
  
Thanks,  
Aya

Answer

I found the solution:  
  
        self.myAWSIoTMQTTClient.onOffline = self.myOnOfflineCallback  
        self.myAWSIoTMQTTClient.onOnline = self.myOnOnlineCallback  
  
    def myOnOfflineCallback(self):  
        self.sent_to_topic = False  
        print("OFFLINE")  
  
    def myOnOnlineCallback(self):  
        self.sent_to_topic = True  
        print("ONLINE")  
  
    def publish(self, topic, message_to_send):  
        if self.sent_to_topic:  
            self.myAWSIoTMQTTClient.publish(topic, message_to_send, 1)  
            print(f"Published topic {topic}")
