Package Exports

node-xmpp-client
node-xmpp-client/lib/session

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-xmpp-client) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Building XML Elements

Strophe.js' XML Builder is very convenient for producing XMPP stanzas. ltx includes it in a much more primitive way: the c(), cnode() and t() methods can be called on any Element object, returning the new child element.

This can be confusing: in the end, you will hold the last-added child until you use up(), a getter for the parent. Connection.send() first invokes tree() to retrieve the uppermost parent, the XMPP stanza, before sending it out the wire.

Browser Support

node-xmpp-client now comes with a prebuilt browser bundle:

<script src="/node_modules/node-xmpp-client/bundle.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var client = new XMPP.Client(opts);
</script>

Keepalives

Rather than send empty packets in order to keep any socket alive please try the following:

this.client.connection.socket.setTimeout(0)
this.client.connection.socket.setKeepAlive(true, 10000)

Where this.client is the result of new require('node-xmpp-client')().
