Junction/PubSub
XMPP Publish-Subscribe framework for Node, built on Junction.
Junction/PubSub is a minimalist framework layered on top of Junction, providing robust tooling to applications that need publish-subscribe functionality. The Junction/PubSub architecture is modeled upon the proven pairing of Connect + Express, making development of XMPP applications as simple as that of web applications.
Usage
Create an Application
To create a new application, simply invoke pubsub().
var app = pubsub();
Routing
Junction/PubSub uses the name of the <pubsub/> child element to provide a
routing API. For example, an entity may wish to publish to a node:
app.publish('princely_musings', function(req, res, next) {
// publish item
});
Mount and Connect to XMPP Network
Publish-Subscribe is a protocol that runs over XMPP, along side other extension
protocols. Because of this, the pub-sub app is typically mounted as a sub-app
of larger XMPP application.
var xmpp = junction()
.use(junction.logger())
.use(app); // use pubsub app in larger XMPP app
xmpp.connect({ jid: 'user@jabber.org', password: 's3cr3t' });
Tests
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
