xmpp-clj

xmpp-clj allows you to write simple jabber bots in idiomatic clojure by providing a lightweight wrapper around the smack library.

This version is compatible with hipchat from atlassian.

Lein

Usage

Create a temporary jabber account for your bot. I've used gmail here, but there are a bunch of free providers

Create a leiningen project and cd into the project directory

lein new mybot
cd ./mybot

Add xmpp-clj to your deps (project.clj):

(defproject mybot "0.1.0"
  :description "FIXME: write"
  :dependencies [[net.assum/xmpp-clj "0.0.1"]])

Open up src/mybot/core.clj and require the xmpp lib:

(ns mybot.core
  (:require [xmpp-clj.bot :as xmpp]))

Define a handler and start the bot. Handlers accept a single parameter -- the message map -- and should return a string with a message back to the sender. Return nil to omit a response. Here's a very simple example:

;; This bot does not respond.

(def config {:host "localhost"
             :port 5222
             :username "sausagebot"
             :domain "localhost"
             :password "sausage"
             :nick "sausagebot"
             :resource "Mr. Sausage"
             :room "clojure@conference.clojutre"})

(def chat (xmpp/start config))

(def room (xmpp-clj/join chat (:room config) (:nick config)))

(.sendMessage clojure-room "clojure rocks")

Next, fire up your chat client, add your new bot buddy, and send him / her a message. The response should look someting like this:

See the src/xmpp_clj/examples folder for additional examples, including MUC chat.

Debugging

Use -Dsmack.debugEnabled=true to enable xmpp protocol output.
