node-ejabberd

nodejs bridge to ejabberd

##Limitations Essentially, what this module can do is just talk to ejabberdclt command, edit ejabberd.cfg file.

So if you don't have the permission to run ejabberdclt and to read/write in /etc/ejabberd config directoty, this module wont works for you.

On unix-like sytems, this means, you must have the root permission to use this module or to run the application that required this moduel.

In the simple words, you are fully reponsed to make sure this module can tale to ejabberd.

Promise based API
Any value return from a public api is a promise object.
More precie, it is follow the Promise/A+ specification, and implemented in a nodejs module called Q.
I highly recommened to read the speicification and documents of aboves, if you are new to promise.
Basic knowledge about ejabberd and its configuration is also required

###API

Examples

var Ejabberd = require('ejabberd');
var e = new Ejabberd('/etc/ejabberd/');

var host = 'chat.example.com';
var config = {host: host};

// Add a virtual host to ejabberd's configuration then restart server
var p1 = e.addVhost(host, config);

p1.then(  // This return a promise
  // success
  function() {
  },
  // error
  function(err) {
  }
);
