Developer guidelines
====================
If you want to work with the non-minified Javascript and CSS files you'll soon
notice that there are references to missing *components* and *node_modules* directories.
Please follow the instructions below to create these directories and fetch Converse's
3rd-party dependencies.
.. note::
Windows environment: We recommend installing the required tools using `Chocolatey <https://chocolatey.org/>`_
You will need Node.js (nodejs.install), Git (git.install) and optionally to build using Makefile, GNU Make (make)
If you have trouble setting up a development environment on Windows,
please read `this post <http://librelist.com/browser//conversejs/2014/11/5/openfire-converse-and-visual-studio-questions/#b28387e7f8f126693b11598a8acbe810>`_
in the mailing list.:
Installing the development and front-end dependencies
-----------------------------------------------------
We use development tools (`Grunt <http://gruntjs.com>`_ and `Bower <http://bower.io>`_)
which depend on Node.js and npm (the Node package manager).
If you don't have Node.js installed, you can download and install the latest
version `here <https://nodejs.org/download>`_.
Also make sure you have ``Git`` installed. `Details <http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git>`_.
.. note::
Windows users should use Chocolatey as recommended above.
.. note::
Debian & Ubuntu users : apt-get install git npm nodejs-legacy
Once you have *Node.js* and *git* installed, run the following command inside the Converse.js
directory:
::
make dev
On Windows you need to specify Makefile.win to be used by running: ::
make -f Makefile.win dev
Or alternatively, if you don't have GNU Make:
::
npm install
bower update
This will first install the Node.js development tools (like Grunt and Bower)
as well as Converse.js's front-end dependencies.
The front-end dependencies are those javascript files on which
Converse.js directly depends and which will be loaded in the browser.
To see the dependencies, take a look at whats under the *devDependencies* key in
`package.json <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/package.json>`_.
.. note::
After running ```make dev```, you should now have new directories *components*
and *node_modules*, which contain all the front-end dependencies of Converse.js.
If these directory does NOT exist, something must have gone wrong.
Double-check the output of ```make dev``` to see if there are any errors
listed. For support, you can write to the mailing list: conversejs@librelist.com
Loading converse.js and its dependencies
----------------------------------------
With AMD and require.js (recommended)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converse.js uses `require.js <http://requirejs.org>`_ to asynchronously load dependencies.
If you want to develop or customize converse.js, you'll want to load the
non-minified javascript files.
Add the following two lines to the *<head>* section of your webpage:
.. code-block:: html
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="converse.css">
<script data-main="main" src="components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
require.js will then let the main.js file be parsed (because of the *data-main*
attribute on the *script* tag), which will in turn cause converse.js to be
parsed.
Without AMD and require.js
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converse.js can also be used without require.js. If you for some reason prefer
to use it this way, please refer to
`non_amd.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/non_amd.html>`_
for an example of how and in what order all the Javascript files that converse.js
depends on need to be loaded.
Before submitting a pull request
--------------------------------
Please follow the usual github workflow. Create your own local fork of this repository,
make your changes and then submit a pull request.
Follow the programming style guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please read the `style guide </docs/html/style_guide.html>`_ and make sure that your code follows it.
Add tests for your bugfix or feature
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add a test for any bug fixed or feature added. We use Jasmine
for testing.
Take a look at `tests.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
and the `spec files <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
to see how tests are implemented.
Check that the tests pass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check that all tests complete sucessfully.
Run ``make check`` in your terminal or open `tests.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
in your browser.

The converse.js developer API
=============================
.. note:: The API documented here is available in Converse.js 0.8.4 and higher.
Earlier versions of Converse.js might have different API methods or none at all.
In the Converse.js API, you traverse towards a logical grouping, from
which you can then call certain standardised accessors and mutators, such as::
.get
.set
.add
.remove
This is done to increase readability and to allow intuitive method chaining.
For example, to get a contact, you would do the following::
converse.contacts.get('jid@example.com');
To get multiple contacts, just pass in an array of jids::
converse.contacts.get(['jid1@example.com', 'jid2@example.com']);
To get all contacts, simply call ``get`` without any jids::
converse.contacts.get();
**Here follows now a breakdown of all API groupings and methods**:
initialize
----------
.. note:: This method is the one exception of a method which is not logically grouped
as explained above.
Initializes converse.js. This method must always be called when using
converse.js.
The `initialize` method takes a map (also called a hash or dictionary) of :ref:`configuration-variables`.
Example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.initialize({
allow_otr: true,
auto_list_rooms: false,
auto_subscribe: false,
bosh_service_url: 'https://bind.example.com',
hide_muc_server: false,
i18n: locales['en'],
keepalive: true,
play_sounds: true,
prebind: false,
show_controlbox_by_default: true,
debug: false,
roster_groups: true
});
send
----
Allows you to send XML stanzas.
For example, to send a message stanza:
.. code-block:: javascript
var msg = converse.env.$msg({
from: 'juliet@example.com/balcony',
to:'romeo@example.net',
type:'chat'
});
converse.send(msg);
The "archive" grouping
----------------------
Converse.js supports the *Message Archive Management*
(`XEP-0313 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html>`_) protocol,
through which it is able to query an XMPP server for archived messages.
See also the **message_archiving** option in the :ref:`configuration-variables` section, which you'll usually
want to in conjunction with this API.
query
~~~~~
The ``query`` method is used to query for archived messages.
It accepts the following optional parameters:
* **options** an object containing the query parameters. Valid query parameters
are ``with``, ``start``, ``end``, ``first``, ``last``, ``after``, ``before``, ``index`` and ``count``.
* **callback** is the callback method that will be called when all the messages
have been received.
* **errback** is the callback method to be called when an error is returned by
the XMPP server, for example when it doesn't support message archiving.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
**Requesting all archived messages**
The simplest query that can be made is to simply not pass in any parameters.
Such a query will return all archived messages for the current user.
Generally, you'll however always want to pass in a callback method, to receive
the returned messages.
.. code-block:: javascript
var errback = function (iq) {
// The query was not successful, perhaps inform the user?
// The IQ stanza returned by the XMPP server is passed in, so that you
// may inspect it and determine what the problem was.
}
var callback = function (messages) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
}
converse.archive.query(callback, errback))
**Waiting until server support has been determined**
The query method will only work if converse.js has been able to determine that
the server supports MAM queries, otherwise the following error will be raised:
- *This server does not support XEP-0313, Message Archive Management*
The very first time converse.js loads in a browser tab, if you call the query
API too quickly, the above error might appear because service discovery has not
yet been completed.
To work solve this problem, you can first listen for the ``serviceDiscovered`` event,
through which you can be informed once support for MAM has been determined.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.on('serviceDiscovered', function (event, feature) {
if (feature.get('var') === converse.env.Strophe.NS.MAM) {
converse.archive.query()
}
});
**Requesting all archived messages for a particular contact or room**
To query for messages sent between the current user and another user or room,
the query options need to contain the the JID (Jabber ID) of the user or
room under the ``with`` key.
.. code-block:: javascript
// For a particular user
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net'}, callback, errback);)
// For a particular room
converse.archive.query({'with': 'discuss@conference.doglovers.net'}, callback, errback);)
**Requesting all archived messages before or after a certain date**
The ``start`` and ``end`` parameters are used to query for messages
within a certain timeframe. The passed in date values may either be ISO8601
formatted date strings, or Javascript Date objects.
.. code-block:: javascript
var options = {
'with': 'john@doe.net',
'start': '2010-06-07T00:00:00Z',
'end': '2010-07-07T13:23:54Z'
};
converse.archive.query(options, callback, errback);
**Limiting the amount of messages returned**
The amount of returned messages may be limited with the ``max`` parameter.
By default, the messages are returned from oldest to newest.
.. code-block:: javascript
// Return maximum 10 archived messages
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net', 'max':10}, callback, errback);
**Paging forwards through a set of archived messages**
When limiting the amount of messages returned per query, you might want to
repeatedly make a further query to fetch the next batch of messages.
To simplify this usecase for you, the callback method receives not only an array
with the returned archived messages, but also a special RSM (*Result Set
Management*) object which contains the query parameters you passed in, as well
as two utility methods ``next``, and ``previous``.
When you call one of these utility methods on the returned RSM object, and then
pass the result into a new query, you'll receive the next or previous batch of
archived messages. Please note, when calling these methods, pass in an integer
to limit your results.
.. code-block:: javascript
var callback = function (messages, rsm) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
// ...
// You can now use the returned "rsm" object, to fetch the next batch of messages:
converse.archive.query(rsm.next(10), callback, errback))
}
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net', 'max':10}, callback, errback);
**Paging backwards through a set of archived messages**
To page backwards through the archive, you need to know the UID of the message
which you'd like to page backwards from and then pass that as value for the
``before`` parameter. If you simply want to page backwards from the most recent
message, pass in the ``before`` parameter with an empty string value ``''``.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.archive.query({'before': '', 'max':5}, function (message, rsm) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
// ...
// You can now use the returned "rsm" object, to fetch the previous batch of messages:
rsm.previous(5); // Call previous method, to update the object's parameters,
// passing in a limit value of 5.
// Now we query again, to get the previous batch.
converse.archive.query(rsm, callback, errback);
}
The "connection" grouping
-------------------------
This grouping collects API functions related to the XMPP connection.
connected
~~~~~~~~~
A boolean attribute (i.e. not a callable) which is set to `true` or `false` depending
on whether there is an established connection.
disconnect
~~~~~~~~~~
Terminates the connection.
The "user" grouping
-------------------
This grouping collects API functions related to the current logged in user.
jid
~~~
Return's the current user's full JID (Jabber ID).
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.jid()
// Returns for example jc@opkode.com/conversejs-351236
login
~~~~~
Logs the user in. This method can accept a map with the credentials, like this:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.login({
'jid': 'dummy@example.com',
'password': 'secret'
});
or it can be called without any parameters, in which case converse.js will try
to log the user in by calling the `prebind_url` or `credentials_url` depending
on whether prebinding is used or not.
logout
~~~~~~
Log the user out of the current XMPP session.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.logout();
The "status" sub-grouping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set and get the user's chat status, also called their *availability*.
get
^^^
Return the current user's availability status:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.get(); // Returns for example "dnd"
set
^^^
The user's status can be set to one of the following values:
* **away**
* **dnd**
* **offline**
* **online**
* **unavailable**
* **xa**
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.set('dnd');
Because the user's availability is often set together with a custom status
message, this method also allows you to pass in a status message as a
second parameter:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.set('dnd', 'In a meeting');
The "message" sub-grouping
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``user.status.message`` sub-grouping exposes methods for setting and
retrieving the user's custom status message.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.message.set('In a meeting');
converse.user.status.message.get(); // Returns "In a meeting"
The "contacts" grouping
-----------------------
get
~~~
This method is used to retrieve roster contacts.
To get a single roster contact, call the method with the contact's JID (Jabber ID):
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get('buddy@example.com')
To get multiple contacts, pass in an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])
To return all contacts, simply call ``get`` without any parameters:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get()
The returned roster contact objects have these attributes:
+----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Attribute | |
+================+=================================================================================================================+
| ask | If ask === 'subscribe', then we have asked this person to be our chat buddy. |

add
~~~
Add a contact.
Provide the JID of the contact you want to add:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.add('buddy@example.com')
You may also provide the fullname. If not present, we use the jid as fullname:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.add('buddy@example.com', 'Buddy')
The "chats" grouping
--------------------
Note, for MUC chat rooms, you need to use the "rooms" grouping instead.
get
~~~
Returns an object representing a chat box.
To return a single chat box, provide the JID of the contact you're chatting
with in that chat box:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.get('buddy@example.com')
To return an array of chat boxes, provide an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.get(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])
To return all open chat boxes, call the method without any JIDs::
converse.chats.get()
open
~~~~
Opens a chat box and returns an object representing a chat box.
To open a single chat box, provide the JID of the contact:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.open('buddy@example.com')
To return an array of chat boxes, provide an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.open(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])
*The returned chat box object contains the following methods:*
+-------------+------------------------------------------+
| Method | Description |
+=============+==========================================+

+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| url | The URL of the chat box heading. |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
The "rooms" grouping
--------------------
get
~~~
Returns an object representing a multi user chat box (room).
It takes 3 parameters:
* the room JID (if not specified, all rooms will be returned).
* a map (object) containing any extra room attributes For example, if you want
to specify the nickname, use ``{'nick': 'bloodninja'}``. Previously (before
version 1.0.7, the second parameter only accepted the nickname (as a string
value). This is currently still accepted, but then you can't pass in any
other room attributes. If the nickname is not specified then the node part of
the user's JID will be used.
* a boolean, indicating whether the room should be created if not found (default: `false`)
.. code-block:: javascript
var nick = 'dread-pirate-roberts';
var create_if_not_found = true;
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com', {'nick': nick}, create_if_not_found)
open
~~~~
Opens a multi user chat box and returns an object representing it.
Similar to chats.get API
It takes 2 parameters:
* the room JID (if not specified, all rooms will be returned).
* a map (object) containing any extra room attributes. For example, if you want
to specify the nickname, use ``{'nick': 'bloodninja'}``.
To open a single multi user chat box, provide the JID of the room:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com')
To return an array of rooms, provide an array of room JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open(['group1@muc.example.com', 'group2@muc.example.com'])
To setup a custom nickname when joining the room, provide the optional nick argument:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com', {'nick': 'mycustomnick'})
close
~~~~~
Lets you close open chat rooms. You can call this method without any arguments
to close all open chat rooms, or you can specify a single JID or an array of
JIDs.
The "settings" grouping
-----------------------
This grouping allows you to get or set the configuration settings of converse.js.
get(key)
~~~~~~~~
Returns the value of a configuration settings. For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.get("play_sounds"); // default value returned would be false;
set(key, value) or set(object)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set one or many configuration settings. For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.set("play_sounds", true);
or :
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.set({
"play_sounds", true,
"hide_offline_users" true
});
Note, this is not an alternative to calling ``converse.initialize``, which still needs
to be called. Generally, you'd use this method after converse.js is already
running and you want to change the configuration on-the-fly.
The "tokens" grouping
---------------------
get
~~~
Returns a token, either the RID or SID token depending on what's asked for.
Example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.tokens.get('rid')
.. _`listen-grouping`:
The "listen" grouping
---------------------
Converse.js emits events to which you can subscribe from your own Javascript.
Concerning events, the following methods are available under the "listen"
grouping:
* **on(eventName, callback, [context])**:
Calling the ``on`` method allows you to subscribe to an event.
Every time the event fires, the callback method specified by ``callback`` will be
called.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
* ``context`` (optional), the value of the `this` parameter for the callback.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.on('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });
* **once(eventName, callback, [context])**:
Calling the ``once`` method allows you to listen to an event
exactly once.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
* ``context`` (optional), the value of the `this` parameter for the callback.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.once('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });
* **not(eventName, callback)**
To stop listening to an event, you can use the ``not`` method.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` refers to the function that is to be no longer executed.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.not('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });

Loading converse.js and its dependencies
----------------------------------------
With AMD and require.js (recommended)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converse.js uses `require.js <http://requirejs.org>`_ to asynchronously load dependencies.
If you want to develop or customize converse.js, you'll want to load the

Add the following two lines to the *<head>* section of your webpage:
.. code-block:: html
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="converse.css">
<script data-main="main" src="components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
require.js will then let the main.js file be parsed (because of the *data-main*
attribute on the *script* tag), which will in turn cause converse.js to be
parsed.
Without AMD and require.js
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converse.js can also be used without require.js. If you for some reason prefer
to use it this way, please refer to
`non_amd.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/non_amd.html>`_

Development
===========
.. contents:: Table of Contents
:depth: 2
:local:
If you want to work with the non-minified Javascript and CSS files you'll soon
notice that there are references to missing *components* and *node_modules* directories.
Please follow the instructions below to create these directories and fetch Converse's
3rd-party dependencies.
.. note::
Windows environment: We recommend installing the required tools using `Chocolatey <https://chocolatey.org/>`_
You will need Node.js (nodejs.install), Git (git.install) and optionally to build using Makefile, GNU Make (make)
If you have trouble setting up a development environment on Windows,
please read `this post <http://librelist.com/browser//conversejs/2014/11/5/openfire-converse-and-visual-studio-questions/#b28387e7f8f126693b11598a8acbe810>`_
in the mailing list.:
Install the development and front-end dependencies
==================================================
We use development tools (`Grunt <http://gruntjs.com>`_ and `Bower <http://bower.io>`_)
which depend on Node.js and npm (the Node package manager).
If you don't have Node.js installed, you can download and install the latest
version `here <https://nodejs.org/download>`_.
Also make sure you have ``Git`` installed. `Details <http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git>`_.
.. note::
Windows users should use Chocolatey as recommended above.
.. note::
Debian & Ubuntu users : apt-get install git npm nodejs-legacy
Once you have *Node.js* and *git* installed, run the following command inside the Converse.js
directory:
::
make dev
On Windows you need to specify Makefile.win to be used by running: ::
make -f Makefile.win dev
Or alternatively, if you don't have GNU Make:
::
npm install
bower update
This will first install the Node.js development tools (like Grunt and Bower)
as well as Converse.js's front-end dependencies.
The front-end dependencies are those javascript files on which
Converse.js directly depends and which will be loaded in the browser.
To see the dependencies, take a look at whats under the *devDependencies* key in
`package.json <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/package.json>`_.
.. note::
After running ```make dev```, you should now have new directories *components*
and *node_modules*, which contain all the front-end dependencies of Converse.js.
If these directory does NOT exist, something must have gone wrong.
Double-check the output of ```make dev``` to see if there are any errors
listed. For support, you can write to the mailing list: conversejs@librelist.com
With AMD and require.js (recommended)
=====================================
Converse.js uses `require.js <http://requirejs.org>`_ to asynchronously load dependencies.
If you want to develop or customize converse.js, you'll want to load the
non-minified javascript files.
Add the following two lines to the *<head>* section of your webpage:
.. code-block:: html
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="converse.css">
<script data-main="main" src="components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
require.js will then let the main.js file be parsed (because of the *data-main*
attribute on the *script* tag), which will in turn cause converse.js to be
parsed.
Without AMD and require.js
==========================
Converse.js can also be used without require.js. If you for some reason prefer
to use it this way, please refer to
`non_amd.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/non_amd.html>`_
for an example of how and in what order all the Javascript files that converse.js
depends on need to be loaded.
Before submitting a pull request
================================
Please follow the usual github workflow. Create your own local fork of this repository,
make your changes and then submit a pull request.
The programming style guide
---------------------------
Please read the `style guide </docs/html/style_guide.html>`_ and make sure that your code follows it.
Add tests for your bugfix or feature
------------------------------------
Add a test for any bug fixed or feature added. We use Jasmine
for testing.
Take a look at `tests.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
and the `spec files <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
to see how tests are implemented.
Check that the tests pass
-------------------------
Check that all tests complete sucessfully.
Run ``make check`` in your terminal or open `tests.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/tests.html>`_
in your browser.
Developer API
=============
.. note:: The API documented here is available in Converse.js 0.8.4 and higher.
Earlier versions of Converse.js might have different API methods or none at all.
In the Converse.js API, you traverse towards a logical grouping, from
which you can then call certain standardised accessors and mutators, such as::
.get
.set
.add
.remove
This is done to increase readability and to allow intuitive method chaining.
For example, to get a contact, you would do the following::
converse.contacts.get('jid@example.com');
To get multiple contacts, just pass in an array of jids::
converse.contacts.get(['jid1@example.com', 'jid2@example.com']);
To get all contacts, simply call ``get`` without any jids::
converse.contacts.get();
**Here follows now a breakdown of all API groupings and methods**:
initialize
----------
.. note:: This method is the one exception of a method which is not logically grouped
as explained above.
Initializes converse.js. This method must always be called when using
converse.js.
The `initialize` method takes a map (also called a hash or dictionary) of :ref:`configuration-variables`.
Example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.initialize({
allow_otr: true,
auto_list_rooms: false,
auto_subscribe: false,
bosh_service_url: 'https://bind.example.com',
hide_muc_server: false,
i18n: locales['en'],
keepalive: true,
play_sounds: true,
prebind: false,
show_controlbox_by_default: true,
debug: false,
roster_groups: true
});
send
----
Allows you to send XML stanzas.
For example, to send a message stanza:
.. code-block:: javascript
var msg = converse.env.$msg({
from: 'juliet@example.com/balcony',
to:'romeo@example.net',
type:'chat'
});
converse.send(msg);
The "archive" grouping
----------------------
Converse.js supports the *Message Archive Management*
(`XEP-0313 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html>`_) protocol,
through which it is able to query an XMPP server for archived messages.
See also the **message_archiving** option in the :ref:`configuration-variables` section, which you'll usually
want to in conjunction with this API.
query
~~~~~
The ``query`` method is used to query for archived messages.
It accepts the following optional parameters:
* **options** an object containing the query parameters. Valid query parameters
are ``with``, ``start``, ``end``, ``first``, ``last``, ``after``, ``before``, ``index`` and ``count``.
* **callback** is the callback method that will be called when all the messages
have been received.
* **errback** is the callback method to be called when an error is returned by
the XMPP server, for example when it doesn't support message archiving.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
**Requesting all archived messages**
The simplest query that can be made is to simply not pass in any parameters.
Such a query will return all archived messages for the current user.
Generally, you'll however always want to pass in a callback method, to receive
the returned messages.
.. code-block:: javascript
var errback = function (iq) {
// The query was not successful, perhaps inform the user?
// The IQ stanza returned by the XMPP server is passed in, so that you
// may inspect it and determine what the problem was.
}
var callback = function (messages) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
}
converse.archive.query(callback, errback))
**Waiting until server support has been determined**
The query method will only work if converse.js has been able to determine that
the server supports MAM queries, otherwise the following error will be raised:
- *This server does not support XEP-0313, Message Archive Management*
The very first time converse.js loads in a browser tab, if you call the query
API too quickly, the above error might appear because service discovery has not
yet been completed.
To work solve this problem, you can first listen for the ``serviceDiscovered`` event,
through which you can be informed once support for MAM has been determined.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.on('serviceDiscovered', function (event, feature) {
if (feature.get('var') === converse.env.Strophe.NS.MAM) {
converse.archive.query()
}
});
**Requesting all archived messages for a particular contact or room**
To query for messages sent between the current user and another user or room,
the query options need to contain the the JID (Jabber ID) of the user or
room under the ``with`` key.
.. code-block:: javascript
// For a particular user
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net'}, callback, errback);)
// For a particular room
converse.archive.query({'with': 'discuss@conference.doglovers.net'}, callback, errback);)
**Requesting all archived messages before or after a certain date**
The ``start`` and ``end`` parameters are used to query for messages
within a certain timeframe. The passed in date values may either be ISO8601
formatted date strings, or Javascript Date objects.
.. code-block:: javascript
var options = {
'with': 'john@doe.net',
'start': '2010-06-07T00:00:00Z',
'end': '2010-07-07T13:23:54Z'
};
converse.archive.query(options, callback, errback);
**Limiting the amount of messages returned**
The amount of returned messages may be limited with the ``max`` parameter.
By default, the messages are returned from oldest to newest.
.. code-block:: javascript
// Return maximum 10 archived messages
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net', 'max':10}, callback, errback);
**Paging forwards through a set of archived messages**
When limiting the amount of messages returned per query, you might want to
repeatedly make a further query to fetch the next batch of messages.
To simplify this usecase for you, the callback method receives not only an array
with the returned archived messages, but also a special RSM (*Result Set
Management*) object which contains the query parameters you passed in, as well
as two utility methods ``next``, and ``previous``.
When you call one of these utility methods on the returned RSM object, and then
pass the result into a new query, you'll receive the next or previous batch of
archived messages. Please note, when calling these methods, pass in an integer
to limit your results.
.. code-block:: javascript
var callback = function (messages, rsm) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
// ...
// You can now use the returned "rsm" object, to fetch the next batch of messages:
converse.archive.query(rsm.next(10), callback, errback))
}
converse.archive.query({'with': 'john@doe.net', 'max':10}, callback, errback);
**Paging backwards through a set of archived messages**
To page backwards through the archive, you need to know the UID of the message
which you'd like to page backwards from and then pass that as value for the
``before`` parameter. If you simply want to page backwards from the most recent
message, pass in the ``before`` parameter with an empty string value ``''``.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.archive.query({'before': '', 'max':5}, function (message, rsm) {
// Do something with the messages, like showing them in your webpage.
// ...
// You can now use the returned "rsm" object, to fetch the previous batch of messages:
rsm.previous(5); // Call previous method, to update the object's parameters,
// passing in a limit value of 5.
// Now we query again, to get the previous batch.
converse.archive.query(rsm, callback, errback);
}
The "connection" grouping
-------------------------
This grouping collects API functions related to the XMPP connection.
connected
~~~~~~~~~
A boolean attribute (i.e. not a callable) which is set to `true` or `false` depending
on whether there is an established connection.
disconnect
~~~~~~~~~~
Terminates the connection.
The "user" grouping
-------------------
This grouping collects API functions related to the current logged in user.
jid
~~~
Return's the current user's full JID (Jabber ID).
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.jid()
// Returns for example jc@opkode.com/conversejs-351236
login
~~~~~
Logs the user in. This method can accept a map with the credentials, like this:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.login({
'jid': 'dummy@example.com',
'password': 'secret'
});
or it can be called without any parameters, in which case converse.js will try
to log the user in by calling the `prebind_url` or `credentials_url` depending
on whether prebinding is used or not.
logout
~~~~~~
Log the user out of the current XMPP session.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.logout();
The "status" sub-grouping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set and get the user's chat status, also called their *availability*.
get
^^^
Return the current user's availability status:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.get(); // Returns for example "dnd"
set
^^^
The user's status can be set to one of the following values:
* **away**
* **dnd**
* **offline**
* **online**
* **unavailable**
* **xa**
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.set('dnd');
Because the user's availability is often set together with a custom status
message, this method also allows you to pass in a status message as a
second parameter:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.set('dnd', 'In a meeting');
The "message" sub-grouping
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``user.status.message`` sub-grouping exposes methods for setting and
retrieving the user's custom status message.
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.user.status.message.set('In a meeting');
converse.user.status.message.get(); // Returns "In a meeting"
The "contacts" grouping
-----------------------
get
~~~
This method is used to retrieve roster contacts.
To get a single roster contact, call the method with the contact's JID (Jabber ID):
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get('buddy@example.com')
To get multiple contacts, pass in an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])
To return all contacts, simply call ``get`` without any parameters:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.get()
The returned roster contact objects have these attributes:
+----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Attribute | |
+================+=================================================================================================================+

You may also provide the fullname. If not present, we use the jid as fullname:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.contacts.add('buddy@example.com', 'Buddy')
The "chats" grouping
--------------------
Note, for MUC chat rooms, you need to use the "rooms" grouping instead.
get

To return a single chat box, provide the JID of the contact you're chatting
with in that chat box:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.get('buddy@example.com')
To return an array of chat boxes, provide an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.get(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])
To return all open chat boxes, call the method without any JIDs::
converse.chats.get()
open
~~~~
Opens a chat box and returns an object representing a chat box.
To open a single chat box, provide the JID of the contact:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.open('buddy@example.com')
To return an array of chat boxes, provide an array of JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.chats.open(['buddy1@example.com', 'buddy2@example.com'])

| url | The URL of the chat box heading. |
+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
The "rooms" grouping
--------------------
get
~~~
Returns an object representing a multi user chat box (room).
It takes 3 parameters:
* the room JID (if not specified, all rooms will be returned).
* a map (object) containing any extra room attributes For example, if you want
to specify the nickname, use ``{'nick': 'bloodninja'}``. Previously (before
version 1.0.7, the second parameter only accepted the nickname (as a string
value). This is currently still accepted, but then you can't pass in any
other room attributes. If the nickname is not specified then the node part of
the user's JID will be used.
* a boolean, indicating whether the room should be created if not found (default: `false`)
.. code-block:: javascript
var nick = 'dread-pirate-roberts';
var create_if_not_found = true;
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com', {'nick': nick}, create_if_not_found)
open
~~~~
Opens a multi user chat box and returns an object representing it.
Similar to chats.get API
It takes 2 parameters:
* the room JID (if not specified, all rooms will be returned).
* a map (object) containing any extra room attributes. For example, if you want
to specify the nickname, use ``{'nick': 'bloodninja'}``.
To open a single multi user chat box, provide the JID of the room:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com')
To return an array of rooms, provide an array of room JIDs:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open(['group1@muc.example.com', 'group2@muc.example.com'])
To setup a custom nickname when joining the room, provide the optional nick argument:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.rooms.open('group@muc.example.com', {'nick': 'mycustomnick'})
close
~~~~~
Lets you close open chat rooms. You can call this method without any arguments
to close all open chat rooms, or you can specify a single JID or an array of
JIDs.
The "settings" grouping
-----------------------
This grouping allows you to get or set the configuration settings of converse.js.
get(key)
~~~~~~~~
Returns the value of a configuration settings. For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.get("play_sounds"); // default value returned would be false;
set(key, value) or set(object)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set one or many configuration settings. For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.set("play_sounds", true);
or :
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.settings.set({
"play_sounds", true,
"hide_offline_users" true
});
Note, this is not an alternative to calling ``converse.initialize``, which still needs
to be called. Generally, you'd use this method after converse.js is already
running and you want to change the configuration on-the-fly.
The "tokens" grouping
---------------------
get
~~~
Returns a token, either the RID or SID token depending on what's asked for.
Example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.tokens.get('rid')
.. _`listen-grouping`:
The "listen" grouping
---------------------
Converse.js emits events to which you can subscribe from your own Javascript.
Concerning events, the following methods are available under the "listen"
grouping:
* **on(eventName, callback, [context])**:
Calling the ``on`` method allows you to subscribe to an event.
Every time the event fires, the callback method specified by ``callback`` will be
called.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
* ``context`` (optional), the value of the `this` parameter for the callback.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.on('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });
* **once(eventName, callback, [context])**:
Calling the ``once`` method allows you to listen to an event
exactly once.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` is the callback method to be called when the event is emitted.
* ``context`` (optional), the value of the `this` parameter for the callback.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.once('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });
* **not(eventName, callback)**
To stop listening to an event, you can use the ``not`` method.
Parameters:
* ``eventName`` is the event name as a string.
* ``callback`` refers to the function that is to be no longer executed.
For example:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.listen.not('message', function (event, messageXML) { ... });

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once all plugins have been initialized. This is a useful event if you want to
register event handlers but would like your own handlers to be overridable by
plugins. In that case, you need to first wait until all plugins have been
initialized, so that their overrides are active. One example where this is used
is in [converse-notifications.js](https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/src/converse-notification.js).
``converse.listen.on('pluginsInitialized', function (event) { ... });``

`converse-rosterview.js` plugin to know when it can start to show the roster.
rosterGroupsFetched
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Triggered once roster groups have been fetched. Used by the
`converse-rosterview.js` plugin to know when it can start alphabetically
position roster groups.

Integration into other frameworks
=================================
Angular.js
----------
Angular.js has the concept of a `service <https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/services#!>`_,
which is a special kind of `provider <https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/providers>`_.
An angular.js service is a constructor or object which provides an API defined by the
writer of the service. The goal of a service is to organize and share code, so
that it can be used across an application.
So, if we wanted to properly integrate converse.js into an angular.js
application, then putting it into a service is a good approach.
This lets us avoid having a global ``converse`` API object (accessible via
``windows.converse``), and instead we can get hold of the converse API via
angular.js dependency injection, when we specify it as a dependency for our
angular components.
Below is an example code that wraps converse.js as an angular.js service.
.. code-block:: javascript
angular.module('converse', []).service('converse', function() {
var deferred = new $.Deferred(),
promise = deferred.promise();
var service = {
'load': _.constant(promise),
'initialize': function initConverse(options) {
this.load().done(_.partial(this.api.initialize, options));
}
};
define("converse", [
"converse-api",
// START: Removable components
// --------------------
// Any of the following components may be removed if they're not needed.
"locales", // Translations for converse.js. This line can be removed
// to remove *all* translations, or you can modify the
// file src/locales.js to include only those
// translations that you care about.
"converse-chatview", // Renders standalone chat boxes for single user chat
"converse-controlbox", // The control box
"converse-bookmarks", // XEP-0048 Bookmarks
"converse-mam", // XEP-0313 Message Archive Management
"converse-muc", // XEP-0045 Multi-user chat
"converse-vcard", // XEP-0054 VCard-temp
"converse-otr", // Off-the-record encryption for one-on-one messages
"converse-register", // XEP-0077 In-band registration
"converse-ping", // XEP-0199 XMPP Ping
"converse-notification", // HTML5 Notifications
"converse-minimize", // Allows chat boxes to be minimized
"converse-dragresize", // Allows chat boxes to be resized by dragging them
"converse-headline", // Support for headline messages
// END: Removable components
], function(converse_api) {
service.api = converse_api;
return deferred.resolve();
});
require(["converse"]);
return service;
});
The above code is a modified version of the file `src/converse.js <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/src/converse.js>`_
which defines the converse AMD module and specifies which plugins will go into
this build.
You should replace the contents of that file with the above, if you want such a
service registered. Then, you should run `make build`, to create new build
files in the `dist` directory, containing your new angular.js service.
The above code registers an angular.js module and service, both named ``converse``.
This module should then be added as a dependency for your own angular.js
modules, for example::
angular.module('my-module', ['converse']);
Then you can have the converse service dependency injected into
your components, for example::
angular.module('my-module').provider('my-provider', function(converse) {
// Your custom code can come here..
// Then when you're ready, you can initialize converse.js
converse.load().done(function () {
converse.initialize({
'allow_logout': false,
'auto_login': 'true',
'auto_reconnect': true,
'bosh_service_url': bosh_url,
'jid': bare_jid,
'keepalive': true,
'credentials_url': credentials_url,
});
// More custom code could come here...
});
});
You might have noticed the ``load()`` method being called on the ``converse``
service. This is a special method added to the service (see the implementation
example above) that makes sure that converse.js is loaded and available. It
returns a jQuery promise which resolves once converse.js is available.
This is necessary because with otherwise you might run into race-conditions
when your angular application loads more quickly then converse.js.
The API of converse is available via the ``.api`` attribute on the service.
So you can call it like this for example::
converse.api.user.status.set('online');
Writing a converse.js plugin
============================
Developers are able to extend and override the objects, functions and the
Backbone models and views that make up converse.js by means of writing plugins.
Converse.js uses `pluggable.js <https://github.com/jcbrand/pluggable.js/>`_ as
its plugin architecture.
To understand how this plugin architecture works, please read the
`pluggable.js documentation <https://jcbrand.github.io/pluggable.js/>`_
and to grok its inner workins, please refer to the `annotated source code
<https://jcbrand.github.io/pluggable.js/docs/pluggable.html>`_.
You register a converse.js plugin as follows:
.. code-block:: javascript
converse.plugins.add('myplugin', {
// Your plugin code goes in here
});
Security and access to the inner workings
-----------------------------------------
The globally available ``converse`` object, which exposes the API methods, such
as ``initialize`` and ``plugins.add``, is a wrapper that encloses and protects
a sensitive inner object.
This inner object contains all the Backbone models and views, as well as
various other attributes and functions.
Within a plugin, you will have access to this internal
`"closured" <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Closures>`_
converse object, which is normally not exposed in the global variable scope. The
hiding of this inner object is due to the fact that it contains sensitive information,
such as the user's JID and password (if they logged in manually). You should
therefore make sure NOT to expose this object globally.
An example plugin
-----------------
.. code-block:: javascript
(function (root, factory) {
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
// AMD. Register as a module called "myplugin"
define("myplugin", ["converse"], factory);
} else {
// Browser globals. If you're not using a module loader such as require.js,
// then this line below executes. Make sure that your plugin's <script> tag
// appears after the one from converse.js.
factory(converse);
}
}(this, function (converse_api) {
// Commonly used utilities and variables can be found under the "env"
// namespace of converse_api
// Strophe methods for building stanzas
var Strophe = converse_api.env.Strophe,
$iq = converse_api.env.$iq,
$msg = converse_api.env.$msg,
$pres = converse_api.env.$pres,
$build = converse_api.env.$build,
b64_sha1 = converse_api.env.b64_sha1;
// Other frequently used utilities
var $ = converse_api.env.jQuery,
_ = converse_api.env._,
moment = converse_api.env.moment;
// The following line registers your plugin.
converse_api.plugins.add('myplugin', {
initialize: function () {
// Converse.js's plugin mechanism will call the initialize
// method on any plugin (if it exists) as soon as the plugin has
// been loaded.
// Inside this method, you have access to the protected "inner"
// converse object, from which you can get any configuration
// options that the user might have passed in via
// converse.initialize. These values are stored in the
// "user_settings" attribute.
// Let's assume the user might in a custom setting, like so:
// converse.initialize({
// "initialize_message": "My plugin has been initialized"
// });
//
// Then we can alert that message, like so:
alert(this.converse.user_settings.initialize_message);
},
myFunction: function () {
// This is a function which does not override anything in
// converse.js itself, but in which you still have access to
// the protected "inner" converse object.
var converse = this.converse;
// Custom code comes here
// ...
},
overrides: {
// If you want to override some function or a Backbone model or
// view defined inside converse, then you do that under this
// "overrides" namespace.
// For example, the inner protected *converse* object has a
// method "onConnected". You can override that method as follows:
onConnected: function () {
// Overrides the onConnected method in converse.js
// Top-level functions in "overrides" are bound to the
// inner "converse" object.
var converse = this;
// Your custom code comes here.
// ...
// You can access the original function being overridden
// via the __super__ attribute.
// Make sure to pass on the arguments supplied to this
// function and also to apply the proper "this" object.
this.__super__.onConnected.apply(this, arguments);
},
XMPPStatus: {
// Override converse.js's XMPPStatus Backbone model so that we can override the
// function that sends out the presence stanza.
sendPresence: function (type, status_message, jid) {
// The "converse" object is available via the __super__
// attribute.
var converse = this.__super__.converse;
// Custom code can come here
// ...
// You can call the original overridden method, by
// accessing it via the __super__ attribute.
// When calling it, you need to apply the proper
// context as reference by the "this" variable.
this.__super__.sendPresence.apply(this, arguments);
}
},
}
});
}));
Welcome to the developer documentation of converse.js. Read the documentation
linked to below, if you want to add new features or create your own customized
version of converse.js.
Converse.js itself composed of plugins, and exposes an API with which you can
create and register your own plugins. This is the recommended way to customize
or add new functionality to converse.js.

When a chat box has been initialized. Relevant to converse-chatview.js plugin.
``converse.listen.on('chatBoxInitialized', function (event, chatbox) { ... });``
chatBoxOpened
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a chat box has been opened. Relevant to converse-chatview.js plugin.
``converse.listen.on('chatBoxOpened', function (event, chatbox) { ... });``
chatRoomOpened
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a chat room has been opened. Relevant to converse-chatview.js plugin.
``converse.listen.on('chatRoomOpened', function (event, chatbox) { ... });``
chatBoxClosed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a chat box has been closed. Relevant to converse-chatview.js plugin.
``converse.listen.on('chatBoxClosed', function (event, chatbox) { ... });``

connected
~~~~~~~~~
After connection has been established and converse.js has got all its ducks in a row.
``converse.listen.on('connected', function (event) { ... });``
contactRequest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone has requested to subscribe to your presence (i.e. to be your contact).
``converse.listen.on('contactRequest', function (event, user_data) { ... });``
contactRemoved
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The user has removed a contact.
``converse.listen.on('contactRemoved', function (event, data) { ... });``
contactStatusChanged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a chat buddy's chat status has changed.
``converse.listen.on('contactStatusChanged', function (event, buddy) { ... });``
contactStatusMessageChanged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a chat buddy's custom status message has changed.
``converse.listen.on('contactStatusMessageChanged', function (event, data) { ... });``
disconnected
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After converse.js has disconnected from the XMPP server.
``converse.listen.on('disconnected', function (event) { ... });``
initialized
~~~~~~~~~~~
Once converse.js has been initialized.
``converse.listen.on('initialized', function (event) { ... });``
See also `pluginsInitialized`_.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When keepalive=true but there aren't any stored prebind tokens.
``converse.listen.on('noResumeableSession', function (event) { ... });``
pluginsInitialized
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once all plugins have been initialized. This is a useful event if you want to
register event handlers but would like your own handlers to be overridable by
plugins. In that case, you need to first wait until all plugins have been
initialized, so that their overrides are active. One example where this is used
is in `converse-notifications.js <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/src/converse-notification.js>`.
``converse.listen.on('pluginsInitialized', function (event) { ... });``
reconnected
~~~~~~~~~~~
After the connection has dropped and converse.js has reconnected.

``converse.listen.on('roomInvite', function (event, data) { ... });``
roomInviteReceived
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the user has sent out a direct invitation, to a roster contact, asking them to join a room.
``converse.listen.on('roomInvite', function (event, data) { ... });``
roster
~~~~~~
When the roster has been received from the XMPP server.
``converse.listen.on('roster', function (event, items) { ... });``
See also the `cachedRoster` event further up, which gets called instead of
`roster` if its already in `sessionStorage`.
rosterContactsFetched
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Triggered once roster contacts have been fetched. Used by the
`converse-rosterview.js` plugin to know when it can start to show the roster.
rosterGroupsFetched
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Triggered once roster groups have been fetched. Used by the
`converse-rosterview.js` plugin to know when it can start alphabetically
position roster groups.

``converse.listen.on('rosterPush', function (event, items) { ... });``
statusInitialized
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When own chat status has been initialized.
``converse.listen.on('statusInitialized', function (event, status) { ... });``
statusChanged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When own chat status has changed.
``converse.listen.on('statusChanged', function (event, status) { ... });``
statusMessageChanged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When own custom status message has changed.
``converse.listen.on('statusMessageChanged', function (event, message) { ... });``
