Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create a Chat app like whatsapp and i have bascially read every other discussion on the forum regarding this topic and decided to use ejabberd (because i want to store messages when the reciever is offline , and security was also an issue.). I have also watched few implementations of Ejabberd in Phoenix Application.

Though i still have few doubts, i am already halfway through my application (its an application with many features chat is just a part of it) and i have my own Auth system in application which is working, my question is do i still need to use something like ejabberd.auth() and get JID from it to initiate my Chat stuff and from where can anyone give me some resources to understand the docs.

There is a lot of stuff and it’s quite overwhelming, also if anyone can give me some github link or anything if this stuff has already been implemented by someone else so that i can have a look.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for listening.
