ReactNative: Error: Creating URL objects is not supported yet.

[soulfly]

This example

client.start('ws://localhost:5280/xmpp-websocket')

not working under ReactNative, I'm getting the following error:

16:25:17: [Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Creating URL objects is not supported yet.]

I use the latest master branch

What we need to do is to specify a domain manually, like this:

var options =  {
  "domain": "some.chat.server.com",
  "uri": "ws://some.chat.server.com:5280/xmpp-websocket",
}
client.start(options)

As I understand, it can't be fixed now because of lack of RN support facebook/react-native#16434,
could you please update documentation with this thing?

interesting, so NativeScript uses React Native?

It can be fixed by requiring some polyfill or url instead of assuming global URL is defined. Not sure yet what's the best approach. Maybe document you need a polyfill if you environment doesn't support that feature or provide it with xmpp.js ?

Sorry, my mistake, it's about ReactNative..

Fixed in 0.5.1 https://github.com/xmppjs/xmpp.js/releases/tag/v0.5.1
