This module serves a small snippet of HTML that loads Converse.js, configured to work with the VirtualHost that it is loaded onto.
It becomes available on an URL like https://example.com:5281/conversejs
The module uses general Prosody options for basic configuration. It should just work after loading it.
= {
modules_enabled -- other modules...
"conversejs";
}
Authentication settings are used determine whether to configure Converse.js to use login
or anonymous
mode.
mod_conversejs also determines the BOSH and WebSocket URL automatically, see their respective documentation for how to configure them. Both connection methods are loaded automatically.
Auto-loading of mod_bosh
or mod_websocket
can be prevented by adding it to modules_disabled
but note that at least one of them must be allowed for Converse.js to work.
The module is served on Prosody’s default HTTP ports at the path /conversejs
. More details on configuring HTTP modules in Prosody can be found in our HTTP documentation.
The HTML and JS can be customized either by editing the included template.html
and template.js
files or configuring your own like:
= "/path/to/my-template.html"
conversejs_html_template = "/path/to/my-template.js" conversejs_js_template
The HTML template uses Prosodys util.interpolation
template library while the JS template has %s
where generated settings are injected.
To pass other Converse.js options, or override the derived settings, one can set conversejs_options
like this:
= {
conversejs_options = true;
debug = "fullscreen";
view_mode }
Note that the following options are automatically provided, and overriding them may cause problems:
authentication
based on Prosody’s authentication settingsbosh_service_url
websocket_url
discover_connection_methods
Disabled since we provide thisassets_path
allow_registration
based on whether registration is enabledVirtualHost
:
jid
default_domain
domain_placeholder
registration_domain
mod_bosh
and/or mod_websocket
are automatically enabled if available and the respective endpoint is included in the generated options.
By default the module will load the main script and CSS from cdn.conversejs.org. For privacy or performance reasons you may want to load the scripts from somewhere else.
To use a local distribution or build of Converse.js set conversejs_resources to the local path of “dist” directory:
= "/usr/src/conversejs/dist"; conversejs_resources
To use a different web server or CDN simply use the conversejs_cdn option:
= "https://cdn.example.com" conversejs_cdn
To select a specific version of Converse.js, you may override the version:
= "5.0.0" conversejs_version
Note that versions other than the default may not have been tested with this module, and may include incompatible changes.
Finally, if you can override all of the above and just specify links directly to the CSS and JS files:
= "https://example.com/my-converse.js"
conversejs_script = "https://example.com/my-converse.css" conversejs_css
To add additional tags to the module, such as custom CSS or scripts, you may use the conversejs_tags option:
= {
conversejs_tags -- Load custom CSS
[[<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.org/css/custom.css">]];
-- Load libsignal-protocol.js for OMEMO support (GPLv3; be aware of licence implications)
[[<script src="https://cdn.conversejs.org/3rdparty/libsignal-protocol.min.js"></script>]];
}
The example above uses the [[
and ]]
syntax simply because it will not conflict with any embedded quotes.
