Node connect to a Xmpp Server in localhost

Question

I'm trying to connect with node to a local openfire server using the node-xmpp-client package.

npm install node-xmpp-client

I've configurated the server and i've created a user test1 with password: 'password' and email: '[email protected]'

This is my client.js file

var request = require('request');
var util = require('util');
var Client = require('node-xmpp-client');


var client = new Client({
  jid: //?
  password: "password",
});

client.on('online', function(){
  console.log('online');
});

I don't really get what i should insert in the jid variable.

Someone has faced a similar situation? Thanks in advance for all the help

jid stands for "Jabber ID" - an identification of an XMPP client.

In your case the string "[email protected]" should work. It may also include so called resource (as several clients may be registered to the same account in dialogs there may be a need to address specific device).

With an optional resource string JID looks like "[email protected]/myclient".
