tools (common/template): add filter to get media types:
Add 2 filters to get main type and subtype of media type. Jinja2 and Nunjucks don't handle
slices in the same way (Python way for Jinja2, JS way for Nunjucks), making it difficult
to retrieve main type of a media from media type. Thoses filters work in both cases.

| 3 =================== | |
| 4 Libervia Components | |
| 5 =================== | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Libervia can act as an XMPP server component, which can be seen as a generic plugin for | |
| 8 XMPP servers. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 This page explains which components are available and how to use them. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Running a component | |
| 13 =================== | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Components are linked to a Libervia profile in the same way as normal clients. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To run a component, you'll need to know its *entry point*, which is the name of the import | |
| 18 name of plugin managing it. The entry point to use will be specified in the component | |
| 19 installation documentation. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 You'll also have to declare the component on your XMPP server, this is a server dependent | |
| 22 step and you'll have to check your server documentation for details. You'll have to | |
| 23 specify a **shared secret** (can also be named simply *password*) that must be set both on | |
| 24 the XMPP server and as the XMPP password of the Libervia profile. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 Here is a list of relevant documentation for most common servers: | |

| 39 | |
| 40 Tigase | |
| 41 https://docs.tigase.net/tigase-server/stable-snapshot/Administration_Guide/webhelp/externalComponentConfiguration.html | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 On Libervia, setup is done with Libervia CLI's :ref:`profile create <li_profile_create>` | |
| 45 command. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 You'll usually want to have the component to start automatically when the backend | |
| 48 is started, for this you must unset the profile password (not to be confused with the XMPP | |
| 49 password which is the one also set on the server configuration) with ``-p ""`` and set | |
| 50 auto-connection with ``-A``. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 You'll specify the XMPP password (also named *shared secret* in `XEP-0144`_ terminology) | |
| 53 with ``-x <your_shared_secret>`` and the JID to use with ``-j | |
| 54 <component_subdomain>.<server.tld>``. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 The component entry point is specified with ``-C <entry_point>``. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 .. _XEP-0144: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0114.html | |
| 59 | |
| 60 example | |
| 61 ------- | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Louise wants to run an ActivityPub gateway on her server ``example.org`` with the JID | |
| 64 ``ap.example.org``. The shared secret is ``xmpp_rocks`` and she wants the component to | |
| 65 start automatically with the backend, thus she doesn't set a profile password. The | |
| 66 entry-point for ActivityPub component is ``ap-gateway``, and she wants to use the same | |
| 67 name for the profile. To do this, she enters the following command:: | |
| 68 | |
| 69 $ li profile create ap-gateway -j ap.example.org -p "" -x xmpp_rocks -C ap-gateway -A | |
| 70 | |
| 71 The component will then be started next time Libervia Backend is launched. If Louise | |
| 72 wants to connect it immediately, she can use:: | |
| 73 | |
| 74 $ li profile connect -cp ap-gateway | |
| 75 | |
| 76 Available Components | |
| 77 ==================== | |
| 78 | |
| 79 Below is a list of currently available components in Libervia, and instructions on what | |
| 80 they do and how to use them. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 | |
| 83 File Sharing | |
| 84 ------------ | |
| 85 | |
| 86 **entry_point:** ``file-sharing`` | |
| 87 | |
| 88 File Sharing component manage the hosting of user files. Users can upload file there using | |
| 89 either `Jingle File Transfer`_ or `HTTP File Upload`_. | |
| 90 | |
| 91 There is no limit to the size of files which can be uploaded, but administrators can set a | |
| 92 quota to limit the space that can be used. | |
| 93 | |
| 94 Files can be retrieved using `File Information Sharing`_, and deleted using `Ad-Hoc Commands`_. | |
| 95 | |
| 96 Files can be shared with a public HTTP link, or made available only to a specified list of | |
| 97 entities (JIDs). Permissions can be set through Ad-Hoc Commands. | |
| 98 | |
| 99 .. _Jingle File Transfer: https://xmpp.org/extensions/ | |
| 100 .. _HTTP File Upload: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html | |
| 101 .. _File Information Sharing: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0329.html | |
| 102 .. _Ad-Hoc Commands: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html | |
| 103 | |
| 104 Configuration | |
| 105 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 106 | |
| 107 All options are to be set in ``[component file-sharing]`` section. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 ``http_upload_port`` | |
| 110 port to use for HTTP File Upload | |
| 111 | |
| 112 **default**: 8888 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 ``http_upload_connection_type`` | |
| 115 either ``http`` or ``https``. | |
| 116 | |
| 117 **default**: ``https`` | |
| 118 | |
| 119 Note that HTTP Upload should always be ``https`` to end-user, the ``http`` option is to | |
| 120 be used only if you use a HTTP server as a proxy, and this server is already set for | |
| 121 TLS. | |
| 122 | |
| 123 ``http_upload_public_facing_url`` | |
| 124 must be set to the URL that end-user will see. Notably useful if the component is behind | |
| 125 a proxy. | |
| 126 | |
| 127 **default**: ``https://<component host>:<http_upload_port`` | |
| 128 | |
| 129 ``quotas_json`` | |
| 130 a JSON object indicating quotas to use for users. The object can have 3 keys: | |
| 131 | |
| 132 ``admins`` | |
| 133 quotas to use for administrators (i.e. profiles set in ``admins_list``) | |
| 134 | |
| 135 ``users`` | |
| 136 quotas to use for normal users (i.e. non admin profiles) | |
| 137 | |
| 138 ``jids`` | |
| 139 per-jid specific quotas. The value is a JSON object where key is a user bare jid and | |
| 140 value is a quota. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 Quotas can be either ``null`` for unlimited space, or a size value (`SI prefixes and | |
| 143 binary prefixes`_ can be used). | |
| 144 | |
| 145 example:: | |
| 146 | |
| 147 quotas_json = { | |
| 148 "admins": null, | |
| 149 "users": "50 Mio", | |
| 150 "jids": {"pierre@example.org": "1 Gio"} | |
| 151 } | |

| 3838 | 708 Mentions |
| 709 ~~~~~~~~ | |
| 710 | |
| 711 Mentions are converted by the gateway under some conditions explained below. | |
| 712 | |
| 713 When receiving an AP item which converts to a pubsub item (i.e. not a direct message), for | |
| 714 any local user mentioned (using a tag of type ``Mention``) or directly specified in a | |
| 715 target field (``to``, ``bto``, ``cc`` or ``bcc``), a `XEP-0372 (References)`_ type mention | |
| 716 will be emitted. | |
| 717 | |
| 718 This is not done for direct message as the recipients are already specified, and sending | |
| 719 reference is most probably not desired for a private message. | |
| 720 | |
| 721 In the direction XMPP 🠞 ActivityPub, it's more complicated because XMPP sends references | |
| 722 separately from the pubsub item, while ActivityPub links them in the same item. | |
| 723 | |
| 724 If a XEP-0372 reference targeting an AP actor is received and anchor a pubsub item, the | |
| 725 item will be looked after in cache. If found, it will be converted to an AP item, a | |
| 726 mention will be added, and the item will be delivered to the mentioned entity. | |
| 727 | |
| 728 This only works if the mentioned actor is on a server which has not already received the | |
| 729 original item, because otherwise the AP implementation will most probably ignore the new | |
| 730 item which has the same ID. | |
| 731 | |
| 732 It is hard to avoid sending first published item, then the same item with the reference, | |
| 733 because XEP-0372 references are received after the published items. | |
| 734 | |
| 735 To work around that, when an XMPP blog item is received, its body is scanned to find | |
| 736 ``@user@server.tld`` type mention, and if found a mention is automatically added to the | |
| 737 resulting AP item. | |
| 738 | |
| 739 It is not ideal to parse the body, but that's an acceptable trade-off to make mention | |
| 740 working. This behaviour is activated by default, but can be deactivated by setting | |
| 741 ``auto_mentions`` option to ``false``. Auto mentions are only used for pubsub items, and | |
| 742 not for direct messages for the same reason as mention are not checked in AP direct | |
| 743 messages (see above). | |
| 744 | |
| 745 .. note:: | |
| 746 | |
| 747 For auto mentions, it's the AP actor handle which must be used, not the corresponding | |
| 748 virtual JID. | |
| 749 | |
| 750 If you want to mention ``louise@example.org`` then you must use directly | |
| 751 ``@louise@example.org``, and NOT something like | |
| 752 ``@louise\40example.org@ap.example.net``. | |
| 753 | |
| 754 To mention XMPP entities, your client must use XEP-0372 references directly. | |
| 755 | |
