Converse.js has a `CDN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network>`_, provided by `KeyCDN <http://keycdn.com/>`_,
|
|
|
|
|
which hosts its Javascript and CSS files.
|

|
|
|
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
The latest versions of these files are available at these URLs:
|

To load a specific version of Converse.js you can put the version in the URL, like so:
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* https://cdn.conversejs.org/1.0.3/dist/converse.min.js

|
|
|
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
You can include these two URLs inside the *<head>* element of your website via the *script* and *link* tags:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html
|

|
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="https://cdn.conversejs.org/css/converse.min.css">

|
|
|
|
<script src="https://cdn.conversejs.org/dist/converse.min.js"></script>

Initializing Converse.js
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-12-22 14:00:03 +01:00
|
|
|
You'll then need to initialize Converse.js with configuration settings relevant to your requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to the :ref:`configuration-variables` section for info on all the available configuration settings.
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-12-22 14:00:03 +01:00
|
|
|
To quickly get started, you can put the following Javascript code at the
|
|
|
|
|
bottom of your page (after the closing *</body>* element):
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: javascript
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-22 14:47:53 +02:00
|
|
|
<script>
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
converse.initialize({
|
|
|
|
|
bosh_service_url: 'https://bind.conversejs.org', // Please use this connection manager only for testing purposes
|
2017-03-07 07:56:43 +01:00
|
|
|
show_controlbox_by_default: true
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
});
|
2015-06-22 14:47:53 +02:00
|
|
|
</script>
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `index.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/index.html>`_ file inside the
|
|
|
|
|
Converse.js repository may serve as a nice usable example.
|

Alternative builds of Converse.js
|
|
|
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minified ``.js`` and ``.css`` files provide the same functionality as is available
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
on the `conversejs.org <http://conversejs.org>`_ website. Useful for testing or demoing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-12-22 14:00:03 +01:00
|
|
|
Alternative builds are however also available via the CDN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mobile build
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Besides the default build mentioned above, there is a build intended for mobile
|
|
|
|
|
websites, called ``converse-mobile.min.js``.
|
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the ``mobile.html`` file in the Converse.js repository
|
|
|
|
|
for an example of this build being used. There's an additional CSS file called
|
|
|
|
|
``mobile.min.css`` which should be used with the mobile build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you load `conversejs.org <https://conversejs.org>`_ with a mobile device
|
|
|
|
|
then the mobile Javascript build and its CSS will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Excluding 3rd party dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then there is also a build that contains no 3rd party dependencies, called
|
|
|
|
|
``converse-no-dependencies.min.js`` and which is used in the ``non_amd.html``
|
|
|
|
|
page in the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Excluding only jQuery
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly there is a build called ``converse.nojquery.min.js`` which excludes only
|
|
|
|
|
jQuery but still includes all other 3rd party dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where to go from here?
|
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You might want to implement some kind of persistent single-session solution for
|
|
|
|
|
your website, where users authenticate once in your website and are then
|
|
|
|
|
automatically logged in to the XMPP server as well. For more info on how this
|
|
|
|
|
can be achieved, read: :ref:`session-support`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps you want to create your own custom build of Converse.js? Then head over
|
|
|
|
|
to the :doc:`builds` section, or more generally the :doc:`development`
|
|
|
|
|
documentation.

Do you want to know how to theme Converse.js? Then read the :doc:`theming`
|
|
|
|
|
documentation.
