# Chat TUI example
|
|
This is a simple chat example, with a TUI.
|
|
It shows the library usage and a few of its capabilities.
|
|
## How to run
|
|
### Build
|
|
You can build the client using :
|
|
```
|
|
go build -o example_client
|
|
```
|
|
and then run with (on unix for example):
|
|
```
|
|
./example_client
|
|
```
|
|
or you can simply build + run in one command while at the example directory root, like this:
|
|
```
|
|
go run xmpp_chat_client.go interface.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
The example needs a configuration file to run. A sample file is provided.
|
|
By default, the example will look for a file named "config" in the current directory.
|
|
To provide a different configuration file, pass the following argument to the example :
|
|
```
|
|
go run xmpp_chat_client.go interface.go -c /path/to/config
|
|
```
|
|
where /path/to/config is the path to the directory containing the configuration file. The configuration file must be named
|
|
"config" and be using the yaml format.
|
|
|
|
Required fields are :
|
|
```yaml
|
|
Server :
|
|
- full_address: "localhost:5222"
|
|
Client : # This is you
|
|
- jid: "testuser2@localhost"
|
|
- pass: "pass123" #Password in a config file yay
|
|
|
|
# Contacts list, ";" separated
|

Contacts : "testuser1@localhost;testuser3@localhost"

# Should we log stanzas ?
