hi im trying to develop a chat app w/ react-native, but im not sure i can connect my xmpp server prosody with react?

can someone help thankss?

mbt, react is javascript, right?

yes

mbt, you’ll probably need to look into javascript libraries doing XMPP over WebSocket or BOSH

as well as enabling the respective modules in prosody

Once upon a time there was hints of native TCP connections in JavaScript

thanks i will check those

Like, in FirefoxOS back when that was a thing

i guess making native TCP conns can make harder my work

Ah, sonny left, he’s working on a React Native client atm.

Wait for him to come back.

There is also Reventlov (not present here), and JSXC people.

It seems like a popular library atm.

okay thanks i will stay around

JSXC looks solid but i guess implementing in rn is not the same way

Hey, xmpp.js has first class support for react native but websocket only

TCP/TLS would be nice but I haven't had the time/need for it yet - one would need to write glue java/swift code

Except there's no need to clone anymore you can just npm install

Non-standard and can't find anything about wrapping it in TLS https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/B2G_OS/API/TPC_Socket_API
