Usage
var JID = require('jid')
/*
* All return an instance of JID.JID, the new operator is optional.
*/
var addr = new JID('alice@wonderland.net/rabbithole') // OK
var addr = JID`${'alice'}@${'wonderland.net'}/${'rabbithole'}` // OK, es6 tagged template string
var addr = new JID('alice', 'wonderland.net', 'rabbithole') // BEST; see section on escaping below
addr instanceof JID.JID // true
// domain JIDs are created passing the domain as the first argument
var addr = JID('wonderland.net')
/*
* local
*/
addr.local = 'alice'
addr.local // alice
// same as
addr.setLocal('alice')
addr.getLocal() // alice
/*
* domain
*/
addr.domain = 'wonderland.net'
addr.domain // wonderland.net
// same as
addr.setDomain('wonderland.net')
addr.getDomain() // wonderland.net
/*
* resource
*/
addr.resource = 'rabbithole'
addr.resource // rabbithole
// same as
addr.setResource('rabbithole')
addr.getResource() // rabbithole
addr.toString() // alice@wonderland.net/rabbithole
addr.bare() // returns a JID without resource
addr.equals(some_jid) // returns true if the two JIDs are equal, false otherwise
// same as
JID.equal(addr, some_jid)
JID.is(addr) // returns true if the passed argument is an instance of JID.JID, false otherwise
Escaping
The XEP-0106 defines a method to escape and unescape characters that aren't allowed in the local part of the JID. This library fully implement it but because @
and /
are ones of them and used as JID separators, you should always prefer the following syntax
// GOOD
new JID(local, domain, resource)
over
// BAD
new JID(local@domain/resource)
for user input.
