+Introduction
+============
+
+This module allows to load/unload external components after they have
+been added/removed to a configuration file. It is necessary to explicitly
+initiate a reload on Prosody either via prosodyctl reload or config:reload().
+
+Example 1:
+--------
+If Prosody has started with this configuration file:
+
+``` {.lua}
+VirtualHost "example.com"
+    authentication = "internal_plain"
+
+Component "a.example.com"
+    component_secret = "a"
+
+Component "b.example.com"
+    component_secret = "b"
+```
+
+And the file has changed manually or dynamically to:
+
+``` {.lua}
+VirtualHost "example.com"
+    authentication = "internal_plain"
+
+Component "a.example.com"
+    component_secret = "a"
+
+Component "c.example.com"
+    component_secret = "c"
+```
+
+Then, the following actions will occur if this module is loaded:
+
+1. The component c.example.com will be loaded and start bouncing for
+authentication.
+2. The component b.example.com will be unloaded and deactivated. The
+connection with it will not be closed, but no further actions will be
+executed on Prosody.
+
+Example 2:
+--------
+
+If Prosody has started with this configuration file:
+
+``` {.lua}
+VirtualHost "example.com"
+    authentication = "internal_plain"
+
+Component "a.example.com"
+    component_secret = "a"
+```
+
+And the file has changed manually or dynamically to:
+
+``` {.lua}
+VirtualHost "example.com"
+    authentication = "internal_plain"
+
+Component "a.example.com"
+    component_secret = "a"
+
+VirtualHost "newexample.com"
+        authentication = "internal_plain"
+
+Component "a.newexample.com"
+    component_secret = "a"
+```
+
+Then, the following actions will occur if this module is loaded:
+
+1. The component a.newexample.com will be loaded and start bouncing for
+authentication. Note that its respective VirtualHost is not loaded. Bad
+things may happen.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Copy the module folder into your Prosody modules directory. Place the
+module between your enabled modules either into the global or a vhost
+section.
+
+No configuration directives are needed
