# JID

XMPP identifiers (JID) for JavaScript

| JID type | local |  @  |     domain     |  /  |  resource  |         usage          |
| :------: | :---: | :-: | :------------: | :-: | :--------: | :--------------------: |
|  domain  |       |     | wonderland.net |     |            | servers and components |
|   bare   | alice |  @  | wonderland.net |     |            |         users          |
|   full   | alice |  @  | wonderland.net |  /  | rabbithole | user resource (device) |

## Install

`npm install @xmpp/jid`

## Usage

```js
var jid = require("@xmpp/jid");

/*
 * All return an instance of jid.JID
 */
var addr = jid("alice@wonderland.net/rabbithole");
var addr = jid("alice", "wonderland.net", "rabbithole");

addr instanceof jid.JID; // true

// domain JIDs are created passing the domain as the first argument
var addr = jid("wonderland.net");

/*
 * local
 */
addr.local = "alice";
addr.local; // alice
// same as
addr.setLocal("alice");
addr.getLocal(); // alice

/*
 * domain
 */
addr.domain = "wonderland.net";
addr.domain; // wonderland.net
// same as
addr.setDomain("wonderland.net");
addr.getDomain(); // wonderland.net

/*
 * resource
 */
addr.resource = "rabbithole";
addr.resource; // rabbithole
// same as
addr.setResource("rabbithole");
addr.getResource(); // rabbithole

addr.toString(); // alice@wonderland.net/rabbithole
addr.bare(); // returns a JID without resource

addr.equals(some_jid); // returns true if the two JIDs are equal, false otherwise
// same as
jid.equal(addr, some_jid);
```

## Escaping

The [XEP-0106](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html) defines a method to escape and unescape characters that aren't allowed in the local part of the JID. This library fully implement it.

```js
const addr = jid("contact@example.net", "xmpp.net");
addr.toString(); // contact\40example.net@xmpp.net
// for display purpose only
addr.toString(true); // contact@example.net@xmpp.net
```

For user input, use

```js
jid("contact@example.net", "xmpp.net");
// over
jid("contact@example.net@xmpp.net");
```
