I am currently developing an array in my socket io server and then transmitting it to the client.
var roomList = io.sockets.manager.rooms;
// creating a new Array to store the clients per room
var clientsPerRoom = new Array();
//for (var i = 0; i < roomList.length; i++) {
for (var room in roomList) {
room = room.replace("/", "");
// retrieving the number of clients per room
var clients = io.sockets.clients(room).length;
// storing it in the array under the room name
clientsPerRoom[room] = clients;
}
// sending it to the client
io.sockets.emit('roomList', roomList, clientsPerRoom);
On the client's side,
var clients = 1;
for (room in roomList) {
if (room.length > 0) {
room = room.replace("/", "");
clients = clientsPerRoom[room];
console.log("ROOM: '" + room + "' has '" + clients + "' CLIENTS");
}
}
When checking at the client side, "clientsPerRoom" is shown as "[]" (empty?), causing "clients" to appear as "undefined". What could be the issue here?
The server console log reveals a value of 1 when a user is connected. However, even with multiple users online, it remains at 1 instead of sending this updated value to the client.
Thank you.
