## Usage

Add the dependencies to you `mix.exs` file.

```elixir
defp deps do
  [{:hedwig, "~> 0.1.0"},
   {:exml, github: "paulgray/exml"}]
end
```

Update your applications to include both projects.

```elixir
def applications do
  [applications: [:hedwig, :exml]]
end
```

Configure multiple clients/bots to connect to an XMPP server. Specify handlers for incoming `message`, `presence`, or `iq` stanzas.

## Configuring Clients

```elixir
romeo = %{
  jid: "romeo@capulet.lit",
  password: "iL0v3JuL13t",
  nickname: "loverboy",
  resource: "chamber",
  rooms: ["lobby@conference.capulet.lit"],
  handlers: [{Hedwig.Handlers.Panzy, %{}}]
}

# Start a client for Romeo. This client will be supervised
# and restarted if it crashes abnormally.
{:ok, pid} = Hedwig.start_client(romeo)

# Get the pid of the client by the JID
pid = Hedwig.whereis("romeo@capulet.lit")

# Stop the client.
Hedwig.stop_client(pid)
```

## Setting a client's server configuration

If you need to override the default server configuration, you can add the
`:config` key to the client map:

```elixir
config: %{
  server: "im.capulet.lit", # default: inferred by the JID
  port: 9222, # default: 5222
  require_tls?: true, # default: false
  ignore_from_self?: false, # defaults to true
}
```

## Building Handlers

Handlers are `GenEvent` handlers that will process incoming stanzas.

All that's needed is to `use Hedwig.Handler` and define `handle_event/2`
functions to process incoming `Message`, `Presence`, or `IQ` stanzas.

Here is an example:

```elixir
defmodule Hedwig.Handlers.GreatSuccess do
  @moduledoc """
  Borat, Great Success!

  Replies with a random link to a Borat image when a message contains
  'great success'.
  """

  @usage """
  <text> (great success) - Replies with a random link to a Borat image.
  """

  use Hedwig.Handler

  @links [
    "http://mjanja.co.ke/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/borat_great_success.jpg",
    "http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/13/1324dfd733535e58dba70264e6d05c9b70346204d2cacef65abef9c702746d1c.jpg",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r13riaRKGo0"
  ]

  def handle_event(%Message{} = msg, opts) do
    cond do
      hear ~r/great success(!)?/i, msg -> process msg
      true -> :ok
    end
    {:ok, opts}
  end

  def handle_event(_, opts), do: {:ok, opts}

  defp process(msg) do
    :random.seed(:os.timestamp)
    link = Enum.shuffle(@links) |> List.first
    reply(msg, Stanza.body(link))
  end
end
```

## NOTE: Always create a default handle_event function

If you do not create a default `handle_event/2` function, your event handler
will surely crash. So be sure to add a default at the bottom.

```elixir
def handle_event(_, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
```

## @usage

The `@usage` module attribute works nicely with `Hedwig.Handlers.Help`. If you
install the help handler, your bot will listen for `<your-bots-nickname> help`
and respond with a message containing all of the installed handlers `@usage`
text.
