Is there any way for me to get started in implementing XMPP in my Backend Server

Backend server being written in Elixir

Toshi: Could you elaborate?

zash: I want to add XMPP support to my Phoenix App

I don't know what Phoenix is, sorry.

It's a pretty wide question. Tricky to answer without knowing more.

Zash I want to help in implementing XMPP in Elixir

Zash I don't know where to get start

Toshi: Would this act as a client or a server? Have you searched for existing XMPP libraries for Elexir?

Zash I searched I found two libraries but Can't get through the documentation is kinda confusing

Zash So will it be better to implement on Client Side or Server Side

Toshi: What is your goal?

Zash A Job Quest application with article, post, and periodic quests, support for freelancers and Hiring Companies, And Local Native support to find and interact with little startups and local companies

Zash XMPP has over half of the requirements i need for this , So instead of re-inventing from Scratch thinking of using it.

By client/server I mean, would the webapp(?) talk to an XMPP server, or act as an XMPP server?

The Backend talks to the XMPP server and the frontend gets the API from Backend

Zash Act as XMPP Server

I'm not sure we understand each other

Zash Easier Version -- The Point is How to use XMPP in your App, which has a loads of features

Zash Thank you For your Time , I think I'll learn erlang a bit and see if the xmpp library makes sense .. (P.S. Sorry for my Bad English)

I would imagine something like: Install XMPP server. Add XMPP client library to app. Find out how to connect to the server from the app.

Zash I figured out that React and React/Native has some libraries for it -- It's would be my last choice

Modern web development is not my thing. If you have more specific XMPP questions I might be able to help more.

Zash It's Okay, Thanks

🙂

Zash How can I find you next time

Here I guess, but there are others here that should be able to help too.

Ok.
