  jid: 'juliet@capulet.tld',
  password: 'romeo',
  rooms: [
    {jid: 'coven@chat.shakespeare.lit', nick: 'juliet'}
  ]
})
// register a command
bot.command('name', (answer, args, state, env) => {
  ... // do some work
  answer(...) // answer with results
})
// or just return answer
bot.command('echo', (answer, args) => args.join(' '))
// disconnect when you're done (automatically done on process exit)
bot.disconnect();

Options

• node-xmpp-client‘s
• rooms: List of rooms {jid, nick} the bot should join

Commands

Command functions are passed 4 arguments:

• answer: function that sends the provided text or XML element
• answer.broadcast: broadcast message to all rooms
• args: array of arguments
• state: an object that is saved for this command (=env[command-name])
• env: state shared by all commands

Commands are executed when a message sent to the bot starts with their name
or when the bot is mentioned with @nick <command> [args] in a MUC (multi-user-chat)
