# XMPP-FTW (For The Web/Win)

The goal of this project is to make XMPP really simple to use for developers. This module takes away all of the XML
and works by hooking to events which are passed between client and server using a transport in JSON. In the example
code we use socket.io, but there is no reason this can not be replaced with engine.io, or implement your own transport
and pass in as a connection.

# Try it out...

The code is now up and running at http://xmpp-ftw.org so you can try it out. Be aware that this
setup is only for trying xmpp-ftw out and may be slow as we need to go client ↔ heroku (east coast US) ↔ your XMPP server and back each time.

The version running on the website matches 'master' branch here and auto-deploys with commits.

Also check out the [xmpp-ftw-demo](https://github.com/xmpp-ftw/xmpp-ftw-demo) repository which is what http://xmpp-ftw.org is running.

# Instructions

* npm i xmpp-ftw
* Create your socket.io connection manually and then pass this socket into the constructor

```javascript
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
new require('xmpp-ftw').Xmpp(socket);
});
```
* All events are prefixed with 'xmpp.'

# Logging

Logging is handled using a [Winston](https://github.com/flatiron/winston) like interface but by default
does not record any logging (uses a null logger). Developers can inject any logging platform they wish
provided it uses the same interface as Winston. In order to inject a logger simply call `setLogger` on
the main XMPP-FTW object after instantiation.

Methods used in XMPP-FTW projects are:

* log()
* warn()
* info()
* error()

# Server-side

If you want to run xmpp-ftw server side (e.g. to write a bot) then this should be a good starting point:

```javascript
var xmppFtw = require('xmpp-ftw')
var Emitter = require('events').EventEmitter

var Socket = function() {
this.server = new Emitter()
this.client = new Emitter()
var self = this
this.server.send = function(event, data, rsm, callback) {
self.client.emit(event, data, rsm, callback)
}
this.client.send = function(event, data, callback) {
self.server.emit(event, data, callback)
}
}
Socket.prototype.on = function(event, data, rsm) {
this.server.on(event, data, rsm)
}
Socket.prototype.send = function(event, data, callback) {
this.server.send(event, data, callback)
}
Socket.prototype.removeAllListeners = function(event) {
this.server.removeAllListeners(event)
}

var socket = new Socket()
var client = new xmppFtw.Xmpp(socket)
socket.client.on('xmpp.connection', function (data) {
console.log('Connected', data)
})
socket.client.on('xmpp.error', function (error) {
console.log('error', error)
})
socket.client.on('xmpp.error.client', function (error) {
console.log('client error', error)
})
socket.client.send('xmpp.login', { login: 'detiails', here: true })
socket.client.send(
'xmpp.chat.message',
{
to: '[email protected]',
content: 'Hello world'
},
function (error, data) { console.log(error, data) }
)
```
