The QuickBlox JavaScript SDK provides a JavaScript library making it even easier to access the QuickBlox cloud communication backend platform.
QuickBlox is a suite of communication features & data services (APIs, SDKs, code samples, admin panel, tutorials) which help digital agencies, mobile developers and publishers to add great communication functionality to smartphone applications like in Skype, WhatsApp, Viber.
For the library to work, you need to include either jQuery or Zepto in your html before quickblox.min.js, like so:
For correct work of JS SDK you must include the library in your html before quickblox.js, like so:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/quickblox/2.0.1/quickblox.min.js"></script>If you use bower package manager for your project, you can install JS SDK through bower:
bower install quickblox --save
When you use RequireJS, you are able to use quickblox as AMD module. SDK supports UMD (Universal Module Definition) pattern for JavaScript modules. So it is possible to use SDK everywhere (as browser global variable, with AMD module loader like RequireJS or as CommonJS module for Node.js environment).
Also you can use QuickBlox JavaScript SDK with server-side applications on NodeJS through the native node package. Just install the package in your application project like that:
npm install quickblox --save
And you're ready to go:
var QB = require('quickblox');
// OR to create many QB instances
var QuickBlox = require('quickblox').QuickBlox;
var QB1 = new QuickBlox();
var QB2 = new QuickBlox();QuickBlox JavaScript SDK, zip archive

The quickblox.js library is build from a number of CommonJS modules contained in the js folder. For example the js/modules/qbUsers.js module contains the code that deals with the Users API.
These modules are combined through browserify into a single quickblox.js file in the root and so this is the only file that needs to be included in a <script> tag OR in a RequireJS application OR in Node.js environment (everywhere). To build the library, use the Grunt task runner:
- You need to have the dependencies listed in the package.json available, use
npm installto load them. - Change the 'version' properties in next files:
- Rebuild SDK:
grunt - Update README.md
- Commit your changes to git repository and create a new "git tag" for new version. This action updates SDK for GIT and also for bower package manager.
npm publish. This action updates SDK for node package manager, but maybe you will be needed some author credentials for it (you should be in owner list)- Update QuickBlox developers section
