angular-xmpp

This is a library, that provides styleable UI Elements for XMPP over Websockets using xmpp-ftw and angular-xmpp-services.

;

Demo app

Try here: https://buddycloud.org For testing, open the "login" dropdown and click "sign in". At the moment username and password are prefilled. You can play with a real account with real data.

Known bugs: search is not working at the moment

Screenshot

Let's see the directives

But it can look totaly different

depending on your design skills (conversjs clone - prove of concept)

getting started

bower install angular-xmpp

To see the buddycloud example (screenshot) open

bower_components/angular-xmpp/bin/index.html

in your browser.

connect to server

To connect to the xmpp server we need an [xmpp-ftw server](You will maybe find something like tha://github.com/xmpp-ftw/xmpp-ftw-demo/). You can install that on your localhost. To make buddycloud working read this posting !!!

host: xmpp-ftw server address

defaultdomain: if the is no "@"sign in the login name the defaultdomain will be added.

<xmpp host="https://prod.buddycloud.com"  defaultdomain="laos.buddycloud.com" > </xmpp>

The default domain is also nessessary if you allow anonymous logins.

The directives

login + roster

<xmpp host="https://prod.buddycloud.com">
    <xmpplogin defaultdomain="laos.buddycloud.com"></xmpplogin>
    <xmpproster></xmpproster>
</xmpp>

plunker (no styling)
plunker (bootstrap styling)

include the chat

angular.module("XmppApp", ["AngularXmpp", 'templates-app'])
      .controller("page", function($scope) {
        $scope.openchat = function(jid) {
          console.log("openchat", jid, $scope.chat);
          $scope.chat.openchat(jid);
        }
        $scope.initchat = function(chat) {
          $scope.chat = chat;
        }
      });

<xmpp host="https://prod.buddycloud.com" >
      <xmpplogin></xmpplogin>
      <xmpproster onopenchat="openchat(jid)"></xmpproster>
      <xmppminichat oninit="initchat(scope)"></xmppminichat>
</xmpp>

plunker (default styling)

use your own template

Use the attribute 'template-url' to replace the html template by your own html. Here a small example how to start.

<xmpproster onopenchat="openchat(jid)" template-url="roster.html"></xmpproster>

plunker

It's very handy to use the build in angular json formatter.

<pre>{{xmpp.model.roster|json}}</pre>

You also can use a json-formatter plugin to observe the model as in this example:

plunker

example xmpp muc

Say hello to the developers hangout.

<xmpp host="https://prod.buddycloud.com" defauldomain="laos.buddycloud.com" anonymous="true">
    <xmppmuc room="seehaus@channels.buddycloud.com" nick="guest"></xmppmuc>
</xmpp>

plunker (explore the model)
plunker (simple template)

example xmpp buddycloud

<xmpp host="https://prod.buddycloud.com">
    <xmpplogin></xmpplogin>
    <buddycloud node="/user/robotnic@buddycloud.com/posts">
        <buddycloud-stream></buddycloud-stream>
    </buddycloud>
</xmpp>

plunker (working example)
plunker (model + post field )

Combine with your project

Buddycloud events

<input ng-mode="node"/>
<buddycloud node="node" onchangenode="nodechangedinsidedirective(node)">
    <buddycloud-stream></buddycloud-stream>
</buddycloud>

In your controller

...
$scope.node="/user/robotnic@buddycloud.com/posts";
$scope.nodechangedinsidedirective=function(node){
    //change hashtag or whatever
}

Styling

The templates include all the javascript that has to be done and tries to keep the html simple. Your part is to give them a style.

What is it about?

If you are good in design, but don't like javascript programming, here is your starting point.

Dynamic Json

All the information the stream needs is in json object, that looks like in this plunker. http://plnkr.co/edit/hysY7CLfUngw2nRivI2j?p=preview

tree[0].entry.atom.content.content

you find the text of a message.

The HTML

The next plunker shows you the buddycloud stream.

http://plnkr.co/edit/qd7tIpQT2zvuhE9wsMbP?p=preview

You can edit the file "stream.tmp.html" to change the the output. If you don't like bootstrap, change the style to ioncic for example or build a fance SVG version.

how to start more serious

git clone https://github.com/robotnic/angular-xmpp

directory structure

The structure comes from ng-boilerplate. All the angular factorys are in a seperate project called angular-xmpp-services.

js, html and less lives together and build a directive
