|
|
<p>When you download a specific release of <em>Converse.js</em> there will be two minified files inside the zip file.</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>converse.min.js</li>
|
|
<li>converse.min.css</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>You can include these two files inside the <em><head></em> element of your website via the <em>script</em> and <em>link</em>
|
|
tags:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="converse.min.css">
|
|
<script src="converse.min.js"></script></pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>You need to initialize Converse.js with configuration settings particular to
|
|
your requirements.</p>
|
|
<p>Please refer to the <a class="reference internal" href="#configuration-variables">Configuration variables</a> section further below for info on
|
|
all the available configuration settings.</p>
|
|
<p>To do this, put the following inline Javascript code at the
|
|
bottom of your page (after the closing <em></body></em> element).</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>require(['converse'], function (converse) {
|
|
converse.initialize({
|
|
auto_list_rooms: false,
|
|
auto_subscribe: false,
|
|
bosh_service_url: 'https://bind.conversejs.org', // Please use this connection manager only for testing purposes
|
|
hide_muc_server: false,
|
|
i18n: locales.en, // Refer to ./locale/locales.js to see which locales are supported
|
|
prebind: false,
|
|
show_controlbox_by_default: true,
|
|
xhr_user_search: false
|
|
});
|
|
});</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Finally, Converse.js requires a special snippet of HTML markup to be included in your page:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre><div id="conversejs"></div></pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/index.html">index.html</a> file inside the
|
|
Converse.js repository serves as a nice usable example of this.</p>
|
|
<p>These minified files provide the same demo-like functionality as is available
|
|
on the <a class="reference external" href="http://conversejs.org">conversejs.org</a> website. Useful for testing or demoing, but not very
|
|
practical.</p>
|
|
<p>You’ll most likely want to implement some kind of single-signon solution for
|
|
your website, where users authenticate once in your website and then stay
|
|
logged into their XMPP session upon page reload.</p>
|
|
<p>For more info on this, read: <a class="reference internal" href="#prebinding-and-single-session-support">Prebinding and Single Session Support</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>You might also want to have more fine-grained control of what gets included in
|
|
the minified Javascript file. Read <a class="reference internal" href="#configuration">Configuration</a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#minification">Minification</a> for more info on how to do
|
|
that.</p>

|
|
<p>Even though you can connect to public XMPP servers on the <a class="reference external" href="http://conversejs.org">conversejs.org</a>
|
|
website, <em>Converse.js</em> is not really meant to be a “Software-as-a-service” (SaaS)
|
|
webchat.</p>
|
|
<p>Instead, its goal is to provide the means for website owners to add a tightly
|
|
integrated instant messaging service to their own sites.</p>
|
|
<p>As a website owner, you are expected to host <em>Converse.js</em> yourself, and to do some legwork to
|
|
properly configure and integrate it into your site.</p>
|
|
<p>The benefit in doing this, is that your users have a much more streamlined and integrated
|
|
webchat experience and that you have control over the data. The latter being a
|
|
requirement for many sites dealing with sensitive information.</p>
|
|
<p>You’ll need to set up your own XMPP server and in order to have
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="#session-support">Session Support</a> (i.e. single-signon functionality whereby users are authenticated once and stay
|
|
logged in to XMPP upon page reload) you will also have to add some server-side
|
|
code.</p>
|
|
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#what-you-will-need">What you will need</a> section has more information on all these
|
|
requirements.</p>

|
|
<p><em>Converse.js</em> implements <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmpp">XMPP</a> as its messaging protocol, and therefore needs
|
|
to connect to an XMPP/Jabber server (Jabber is really just a synonym for XMPP).</p>
|
|
<p>You can connect to public XMPP servers like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">jabber.org</span></tt> but if you want to
|
|
have <a class="reference internal" href="#session-support">Session Support</a> you’ll have to set up your own XMPP server.</p>
|
|
<p>You can find a list of public XMPP servers/providers on <a class="reference external" href="http://xmpp.net">xmpp.net</a> and a list of
|
|
servers that you can set up yourself on <a class="reference external" href="http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/servers/">xmpp.org</a>.</p>

|
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Connection Manager</a><a class="headerlink" href="#connection-manager" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Your website and <em>Converse.js</em> use <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol">HTTP</a> as protocol to communicate with
|
|
the webserver. HTTP connections are stateless and usually shortlived.</p>
|
|
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmpp">XMPP</a> on the other hand, is the protocol that enables instant messaging, and
|
|
its connections are stateful and usually longer.</p>
|
|
<p>To enable a web application like <em>Converse.js</em> to communicate with an XMPP
|
|
server, we need a proxy in the middle that can act as a bridge between the two
|
|
protocols.</p>
|
|
<p>This is the job of a connection manager. A connection manager can be either a
|
|
standalone application or part of an XMPP server. <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ejabberd.im">ejabberd</a> for example,
|
|
includes a connection manager (but you have to enable it).</p>
|
|
<p>The demo on the <a class="reference external" href="http://conversejs.org">Converse.js homepage</a> uses a a connection manager located at <a class="reference external" href="https://bind.conversejs.org">https://bind.conversejs.org</a>.
|
|
This connection manager is for testing purposes only, please don’t use it in
|
|
production.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="overcoming-cross-domain-request-restrictions">
|
|
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Overcoming cross-domain request restrictions</a><a class="headerlink" href="#overcoming-cross-domain-request-restrictions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The domain of the <em>Converse.js</em> demo is <em>conversejs.org</em>, but the domain of the connection manager is <em>opkode.im</em>.
|
|
HTTP requests are made by <em>Converse.js</em> to the connection manager via XmlHttpRequests (XHR).
|
|
Until recently, it was not possible to make such requests to a different domain
|
|
than the one currently being served (to prevent XSS attacks).</p>
|
|
<p>Luckily there is now a standard called <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing">CORS</a> (Cross-origin resource sharing), which enables exactly that.
|
|
Modern browsers support CORS, but there are problems with Internet Explorer <
|
|
10.</p>
|
|
<p>IE 8 and 9 partially support CORS via a proprietary implementation called
|
|
XDomainRequest. There is a <a class="reference external" href="https://gist.github.com/1095825/6b4517276f26b66b01fa97b0a78c01275fdc6ff2">Strophe.js plugin</a> which you can use to enable
|
|
support for XDomainRequest when it is present.</p>
|
|
<p>In IE < 8, there is no support for CORS.</p>
|
|
<p>Instead of using CORS, you can add a reverse proxy in
|
|
Apache/Nginx which serves the connection manager under the same domain as your
|
|
website. This will remove the need for any cross-domain XHR support.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="for-example">

|
for converse.js to connect to (see the <a class="reference internal" href="#bosh-service-url">bosh_service_url</a> under <a class="reference internal" href="#configuration-variables">Configuration variables</a>)
|
|
as well as a BOSH client on your own server (written for example in Python, Ruby or PHP) that will
|
|
do the pre-authentication before the web page loads.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">A BOSH server acts as a bridge between HTTP, the protocol of the web, and
|
|
XMPP, the instant messaging protocol.
|
|
Converse.js can only communicate via HTTP, but we need to communicate with
|
|
an XMPP server in order to chat. So the BOSH server acts as a middle man,
|
|
translating our HTTP requests into XMPP stanzas and vice versa.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Jack Moffitt has a great <a class="reference external" href="http://metajack.im/2008/10/03/getting-attached-to-strophe">blogpost</a> about this and even provides an <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/metajack/strophejs/tree/master/examples/attach">example Django application</a> to demonstrate it.</p>
|
|
<p>When you authenticate to the XMPP server on your backend application (for
|
|
example via a BOSH client in Django), you’ll receive two tokens, RID (request ID) and SID (session ID).</p>
|
|
<p>The <strong>Session ID (SID)</strong> is a unique identifier for the current <em>session</em>. This
|
|
number stays constant for the entire session.</p>
|
|
<p>The <strong>Request ID (RID)</strong> is a unique identifier for the current <em>request</em> (i.e.
|
|
page load). Each page load is a new request which requires a new unique RID.
|
|
The best way to achieve this is to simply increment the RID with each page
|
|
load.</p>
|
|
<p>When you initialize converse.js in your browser, you need to pass it these two
|
|
tokens. Converse.js will then use them to attach to the session you just
|
|
created.</p>
|
|
<p>You can embed the RID and SID tokens in your HTML markup or you can do an
|
|
XMLHttpRequest call to your server and ask it to return them for you.</p>
|
|
<p>Below is one example of how this could work. An Ajax call is made to the
|
|
relative URL <strong>/prebind</strong> and it expects to receive JSON data back.</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$.getJSON('/prebind', function (data) {
|
|
converse.initialize({
|
|
prebind: true,
|
|
bosh_service_url: data.bosh_service_url,
|
|
jid: data.jid,
|
|
sid: data.sid,
|
|
rid: data.rid
|
|
});
|
|
);</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p><strong>Here’s what’s happening:</strong></p>
|
|
<p>The JSON data returned from the Ajax call to example.com/prebind contains the user’s JID (jabber ID), RID, SID and the URL to the
|
|
BOSH server (also called a <em>connection manager</em>).</p>
|
|
<p>These values are then passed to converse.js’s <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">initialize</span></tt> method.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">If you want to enable single session support, you need to set <strong>prebind: true</strong>
|
|
when calling <strong>converse.initialize</strong> (see ./index.html).
|
|
Additionally you need to pass in valid <strong>jid</strong>, <strong>sid</strong>, <strong>rid</strong> and
|
|
<strong>bosh_service_url</strong> values.</p>

|
<p>Converse.js uses <a class="reference external" href="http://strophe.im/strophejs">Strophe.js</a> to connect and
|
|
communicate with the XMPP server. One nice thing about Strophe.js is that it
|
|
can be extended via <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/strophe/strophejs-plugins">plugins</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/kissrobber/turedsocial/blob/master/strophe-plugins/src/facebook.js">plugin for authenticating with facebook</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>You will need your own BOSH connection manager to act as a proxy between
|
|
Converse.js/Strophe.js and Facebook’s XMPP server. That is because Facebook’s
|
|
XMPP server doesn’t support BOSH natively.</p>
|
|
<p>The BOSH connection manager that I make available for
|
|
testing purposes (at <a class="reference external" href="https://bind.conversejs.org">https://bind.conversejs.org</a>) uses <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/twonds/punjab">Punjab</a>,
|
|
although there are quite a few other options available as well.</p>
|
|
<p>When you configure Converse.js, via its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">initialize</span></tt> method, you must specify the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="#bosh-service-url">bosh_service_url</a> value, which is to be your BOSH connection manager.</p>
|
|
<p>Please note, to enable Facebook integration, you’ll have to
|
|
get your hands dirty and modify Converse.js’s code, so that it calls the
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">facebookConnect</span></tt> method of the plugin above.</p>
|
|
<p>The plugin above gives the following code example for you to meditate upon:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>connection = new Strophe.Connection("http://localhost:5280/bosh");
|
|
connection.facebookConnect(
|
|
"12345@chat.facebook.com",
|
|
onConnectFacebook,
|
|
300,
|
|
1,
|
|
'5e64a30272af065bd72258c565a03f2f',
|
|
'8147a27e4a7f9b55ffc85c2683f9529a',
|
|
FB.getSession().session_key
|
|
);</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The connection is already created inside Converse.js, so the
|
|
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">facebookConnect</span></tt> method needs to also be called from there.</p>
|
|
<p>If someone submits a sane patch that does the above, I’ll be happy to merge it.
|
|
Until then, people will have to do this themselves.</p>

<p>Converse.js supports <a class="reference external" href="https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/">Off-the-record (OTR)</a>
|
|
encrypted messaging.</p>
|
|
<p>The OTR protocol not only <strong>encrypts your messages</strong>, it provides ways to
|
|
<strong>verify the identity</strong> of the person you are talking to,
|
|
<strong>plausible deniability</strong> and <strong>perfect forward secrecy</strong> by generating
|
|
new encryption keys for each conversation.</p>
|
|
<p>In its current state, Javascript cryptography is fraught with dangers and
|
|
challenges that make it impossible to reach the same standard of security that
|
|
is available with native “desktop” software.</p>
|
|
<p>This is due to its runtime malleability, the way it is “installed” (e.g.
|
|
served) and the browser’s lack of cryptographic primitives needed to implement
|
|
secure crypto.</p>
|
|
<p>For harsh but fairly valid criticism of Javascript cryptography, read:
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/">Javascript Cryptography Considered Harmful</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>To get an idea on how this applies to OTR support in Converse.js, please read
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="https://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/11/11/conversejs-otr-support">my thoughts on it</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>For now, suffice to say that although its useful to have OTR support in
|
|
Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
|
|
communications privacy, then you’re much better off using native software.</p>

<p>We use development tools (<a class="reference external" href="http://gruntjs.com">Grunt</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://bower.io">Bower</a>)
|
|
which depend on Node.js and npm (the Node package manager).</p>
|
|
<p>If you don’t have Node.js installed, you can download and install the latest
|
|
version <a class="reference external" href="https://nodejs.org/download">here</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Also make sure you have <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git</span></tt> installed. <a class="reference external" href="http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git">Details</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Once you have <em>Node.js</em> and <em>git</em> installed, run the following command inside the Converse.js
|
|
directory:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make dev</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>This will first install the Node.js development tools (like Grunt and Bower)
|

and then use Bower to install all of Converse.js’s front-end dependencies.</p>
|
|
<p>The front-end dependencies are those javascript files on which

Converse.js directly depends and which will therefore be loaded in the browser.</p>

</div>
|
|
<p>require.js will then let the main.js file be parsed (because of the <em>data-main</em>

<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|

<p class="last">Translations take up a lot of space and will bloat your minified file.
|
|
At the time of writing, all the translations add about 50KB of extra data to
|
|
the minified javascript file. Therefore, make sure to only
|
|
include those languages that you intend to support and remove from
|
|
./locale/locales.js those which you don’t need. Remember to rebuild the
|
|
minified file afterwards.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The gettext POT file located in ./locale/converse.pot is the template
|
|
containing all translations and from which for each language an individual PO
|
|
file is generated.</p>
|
|
<p>The POT file contains all translateable strings extracted from converse.js.</p>
|
|
<p>To make a user facing string translateable, wrap it in the double underscore helper
|
|
function like so:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'This string will be translated at runtime'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>After adding the string, you’ll need to regenerate the POT file, like so:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make pot</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>You can then create or update the PO file for a specific language by doing the following:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>msgmerge ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po ./locale/converse.pot -U</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>To do this for ALL languages, run:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make po</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The resulting PO file is then what gets translated.</p>
|
|
<p>If you’ve created a new PO file, please make sure to add the following
|
|
attributes at the top of the file (under <em>Content-Transfer-Encoding</em>). They are
|
|
required as configuration settings for Jed, the Javascript translations library
|
|
that we’re using.</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="s">"domain: converse</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">"</span>
|
|
<span class="s">"lang: de</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">"</span>
|
|
<span class="s">"plural_forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">"</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Unfortunately <a class="reference external" href="http://slexaxton.github.io/Jed">Jed</a> cannot use the PO files directly. We have to generate from it
|
|
a file in JSON format and then put that in a .js file for the specific
|
|
language.</p>
|
|
<p>To generate JSON from a PO file, you’ll need po2json for node.js. Run the
|
|
following command to install it (npm being the node.js package manager):</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>npm install po2json</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>You can then convert the translations into JSON format:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>po2json locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.json</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Now from converse.json paste the data as a value for the “locale_data” key in the
|

object in the language’s .js file.</p>
|
|
<p>So, if you are for example translating into German (language code ‘de’), you’ll
|
|
create or update the file ./locale/LC_MESSAGES/de.js with the following code:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>(function (root, factory) {
|
|
define("de", ['jed'], function () {

return factory(new Jed({

"locale_data": {
|
|
// Paste the JSON data from converse.json here
|

}
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
}(this, function (i18n) {
|
|
return i18n;
|
|
}));</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>making sure to also paste the JSON data as value to the “locale_data” key.</p>

|
<p>You are using other Javascript libraries (like JQuery plugins), and
|
|
get errors like these in your browser console:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'xxx' from example.js</pre>

|
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id30">Solution:</a><a class="headerlink" href="#solution" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>First, find out which object is referred to by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Object</span> <span class="pre">[object</span> <span class="pre">Object]</span></tt>.</p>
|
|
<p>It will probably be the jQuery object <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt> or perhaps the underscore.js object <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_</span></tt>.</p>
|
|
<p>For the purpose of demonstration, I’m going to assume its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt>, but the same
|
|
rules apply if its something else.</p>
|
|
<p>The bundled and minified default build of converse.js, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">converse.min.js</span></tt>
|
|
includes within it all of converse.js’s dependencies, which include for example <em>jQuery</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are having conflicts where attributes or methods aren’t available
|
|
on the jQuery object, you are probably loading <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">converse.min.js</span></tt> (which
|
|
includes jQuery) as well as your own jQuery version separately.</p>
|
|
<p>What then happens is that there are two <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$</span></tt> objects (one from
|
|
converse.js and one from the jQuery version you included manually)
|
|
and only one of them has been extended to have the methods or attributes you require.</p>
|
|
<p>Which jQuery object you get depends on the order in which you load the libraries.</p>
|
|
<p>There are multiple ways to solve this issue.</p>
|
|
<p>Firstly, make sure whether you really need to include a separate version of
|
|
jQuery. Chances are that you don’t. If you can remove the separate
|
|
version, your problem should be solved, as long as your libraries are loaded in
|
|
the right order.</p>
|
|
<p>Either case, whether you need to keep two versions or not, the solution depends
|
|
on whether you’ll use require.js to manage your libraries or whether you’ll
|
|
load them manually.</p>

|

<h4>With require.js<a class="headerlink" href="#with-require-js" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
|
|
<p>Instead of using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">converse.min.js</span></tt>, manage all the libraries in your project
|
|
(i.e. converse.js and its dependencies plus all other libraries you use) as one
|
|
require.js project, making sure everything is loaded in the correct order.</p>
|
|
<p>Then, before deployment, you make your own custom minified build that bundles everything
|
|
you need.</p>

<p>The included minified JS and CSS files can be used for demoing or testing, but

you’ll want to configure <em>Converse.js</em> to suit your needs before you deploy it

on your website.</p>
|
|
<p><em>Converse.js</em> is passed its configuration settings when you call its

<p>Allow the prebind tokens, RID (request ID) and SID (session ID), to be exposed

globally via the API. This allows other scripts served on the same page to use

these values.</p>

<p><em>Beware</em>: a malicious script could use these tokens to assume your identity
