XMPP Bot is a tiny little bot making the link between XMPP conversations and webhooks.

User ⇄ XMPP client ⇄ XMPP Server ⇄ **XMPP Bot** ⇄ REST API

## Key features

-   Call outgoing webhook on XMPP incoming messages from user chat or group chat (Multi-user chat "MUC"),

-   Send message templates (with values to apply to variables in that template) to user or room (MUC) on incoming authorized (basic or bearer) webhook.

    ```
    Add the jail (`/etc/fail2ban/jail.local`):
    ```properties
    [xmpp-bot]
    enabled  = true
    port     = http,https
    filter   = xmpp-bot
    logpath  = /var/log/xmpp-bot/webhook.log
    maxretry = 3
    bantime  = 21600 ; 6 hours
    ```

## Configuration

### Logger

-    `level` log4js level (all < trace < debug < info < warn < error < fatal < mark < off)

-    `file`, `console` and `stdout` define log appenders (see [log4js doc](https://log4js-node.github.io/log4js-node/appenders.html))

### Webhooks listener

-    `path` and `port` define the listening endpoint

-    `ssl` define key and certificat location and port used for exposing in https, make sure that user of the process is allowed to read cert

-    `users` is an array of user/password for basic authentication

-    `accessLog` define the listener logger

### XMPP Server

-    `host` and `port` define XMPP server
-    `jid` and `password` define XMPP "bot" user credentials
-    `rooms` list rooms (and optionnal password) where bot will listen

### Incoming webhooks (list)

-    `path` is the webhook key:a POST request on this path will trigger corresponding `action`

-    `action` among enumeration:
     -    `send_xmpp_message` will send message (`message` in request body) to `destination` (from request body) ; if `destination` is found in `config.xmppServer.rooms` array, message will send as a groupchat). Request exemple:

            ```http
            POST /webhooks/w1 HTTP/1.1
            Host: domain.ltd:8000
            Content-Type: application/json
            Authorization: Basic dXNlcjE6cGFzczE=
            Content-Length: 70

            {
                "destination":"me@domain.ltd",
                "message":"Hi, there something wrong."
            }
            ```

     -    `send_xmpp_template` will send template with merged variables (using JMESPath) to `destination` (user or room if `sendToGroup` set to true)

### XMPP hooks (list)

-    `room` is the XMPP hook key: an incoming groupchat (or chat) from this room (or this user) will trigger corresponding `action`

-    `action` among enumeration:
     -    `outgoing_webhook` will execute a request to corresponding webhook with `args` as webhook code
