XMPP Social provider for freedom.js
This provider builds node-xmpp linked against the freedom.js socket API. The interface conforms to the freedom.js
social API.
Note that net
is almost identical to node-js's net, but just changes to use freedom's tcp provider.
The Provider can be referenced locally from the prebuilt version distributed by NPM. Install the dependency through NPM as standard and you should be done.
npm --save freedom-social-xmpp
npm install
grunt
Note that node-stringprep
has native code, so it may have to recompile node (using gyp). This can fail (e.g. on a mac) when attempted in user-space but node is in super-user space. A fix is to install node-stringprep
globally as super-user:
sudo npm install -g node-stringprep
The provided demo is a chrome chat application, demonstrating a pure JS app acting as an XMPP client. The user interface is automatically linked against the demonstration app found in the freedom chat demo. To compile the demo, run:
grunt demo
grunt test
