XMPP Service Discovery framework for Node, built on Junction.
Junction/Disco is a minimalist framework layered on top of Junction, providing robust tooling to applications that need complete support for service discovery, including information and item queries, as well as JID+node addressing.
The Junction/Disco architecture is modeled upon the proven pairing of Connect + Express, making development of XMPP applications as simple as that of web applications.
$ npm install junction-disco
To create a new application, simply invoke disco().
var app = disco();
Junction/Disco uses the fragment identifier of the http://jabber.org/protocol/disco
XML namespace to provide a routing API. For example, a query may want to discover
items associated with a band:
app.items('bands/:id', function(req, res, next) {
Band.findById(req.params.id, function(err, band) {
if (err) { return next(err); }
var jid = req.to.toString();
var items = res.c('query', { xmlns: 'http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items' });
band.albums.forEach(function(album) {
var node = 'bands/' + band.id + '/' + album.id;
items.c('item', { jid: jid, node: node, name: album.name });
});
res.send();
});
});
Service discovery is a protocol that runs over XMPP, along side other extension
protocols. Because of this, the service discovery app is typically mounted as
a sub-app of larger XMPP application.
var xmpp = junction()
.use(junction.logger())
.use(app); // use disco app in larger XMPP app
xmpp.connect({ jid: '[email protected]', password: 's3cr3t' });
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
