I am trying to adapt a piece of code that was coded with socket.io 0.9 that returns a list of clients in a specific room and list of rooms(typical chat-room example)
Users in room
var usersInRoom = io.sockets.clients(room);
List of rooms
socket.on('rooms', function() {
var tmp = io.sockets.manager.rooms;
socket.emit('rooms', tmp);
});
tmp looks like this
{
0: Array[1],
1: /Lobby: Array[1]
}
So I can show the list in the client with this javascript run on the browser.
socket.on('rooms', function(rooms) {
$('#room-list').empty();
debugger;
for(var room in rooms) {
room = room.substring(1, room.length);
if (room != '') {
$('#room-list').append(divEscapedContentElement(room));
}
}
$('#room-list div').click(function() {
chatApp.processCommand('/join ' + $(this).text());
$('#send-message').focus();
});
});
But for version >1.x I just found the clients/rooms changed. Following some links I found here, I could manage to get a list of rooms by doing this:
socket.on('rooms', function(){
var tmp = socket.rooms;
socket.emit('rooms', tmp);
});
The problem here is that socket.rooms
returns
{
0: "RandomString",
1: "Lobby",
length: 2
}
And I just need to pass the 'Lobby' room. I don't know from where the random string come from.
EDIT Through some debugging I discovered, the randomstring is the socket.id ... Is it normal this behavior? Returning the room and the socket.id together?
Updated
I finally got some results
Users in room
var usersInRoom = getUsersByRoom('/', room);
function getUsersByRoom(nsp, room) {
var users = []
for (var id in io.of(nsp).adapter.rooms[room]) {
users.push(io.of(nsp).adapter.nsp.connected[id]);
};
return users;
};
List of rooms
function getRooms(io){
var allRooms = io.sockets.adapter.rooms;
var allClients = io.engine.clients;
var result = [];
for(var room in allRooms){
// check the value is not a 'client-socket-id' but a room's name
if(!allClients.hasOwnProperty(room)){
result.push(room);
}
}
return result;
}
Better and more straightforward ways to achieve the results?
These are the links I checked:
It seems there is no better approach, so I will use my own answer. In case any of you has a better solution, I would update the accepted one.
Users in room
var usersInRoom = getUsersByRoom('/', room);
function getUsersByRoom(nsp, room) {
var users = []
for (var id in io.of(nsp).adapter.rooms[room]) {
users.push(io.of(nsp).adapter.nsp.connected[id]);
};
return users;
};
List of rooms
function getRooms(io){
var allRooms = io.sockets.adapter.rooms;
var allClients = io.engine.clients;
var result = [];
for(var room in allRooms){
// check the value is not a 'client-socket-id' but a room's name
if(!allClients.hasOwnProperty(room)){
result.push(room);
}
}
return result;
}
