Example

var Client = require('gcm-xmpp');

client.on('connected', function(info) {
  client.send('<registration_id>', { data: { message:'Hello' } }, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);

client.connect();

gcm-xmpp's Issues

ECONNRESET error

I was getting ECONNRESET for a long time and didn't know from which module.
Then I added "longjohn" (http://npmjs.com/longjohn) in project and got this:

Error: read ECONNRESET at exports._errnoException (util.js:1007:11)
at TLSWrap.onread (net.js:563:26)

at Function.API.instance (/home//modules/API.js:123:21)
at /home//modules/nodeRPC.js:37:19

I suppose, gcm-xmpp doesn't handle "error" event somewhere.
At least I had same issue with websocket implementation and solved by this:

socket.on('error', function(event) {
            if ('ECONNRESET' != event.code) {
                // log error
            }
});

Also not sure will gcm-xmpp send push notification again if this error happened.
If not - I think it should, else notification will be lost.

Research about migrating to FCM

GCM was deprecated and no longer works, we should upgrade this tool to work with FCM.
