mod_rest: Expand mapping of XEP-0045 join stanza
The previous 'join' mapping was apparently lost in translation when
swithing to datamapper, so might as well map some properties allowing
history control. Usually you probably want either zero history or
history since the last known time of being joined. Maybe that the former
should be the default?

| 2 summary: Module for improving the life of bot authors | |
| 3 --- | |
| 4 | |
| 5 This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the | |
| 6 requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the | |
| 9 rest. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 # Configuration | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Example configuration in Prosody: | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ```lua | |
| 16 Component "muc.example.com" "muc" | |
| 17 | |
| 18 modules_enabled = { | |
| 19 "muc_bot", | |
| 20 } | |
| 21 known_bots = { "bot@example.com" } | |
| 22 bots_get_messages = false | |
| 23 ignore_bot_errors = true | |
| 24 ``` | |
| 25 | |
| 26 # Sending messages | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Simply send a stanza like this from your bot: | |
| 29 | |
| 30 ```xml | |
| 31 <message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com"> | |
| 32 <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body> | |
| 33 <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick> | |
| 34 </message> | |
| 35 ``` | |
| 36 | |
| 37 ## Use with mod_rest | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join | |
| 40 with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well! | |
| 41 | |
| 42 ```bash | |
| 43 curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \ | |
| 44 -d body="beep boop" \ | |
| 45 -d nick="Botty" | |
| 46 ``` | |
| 47 | |
