getting how many people are in a chat room in socket.io
javascript, node.js, socket.io
Solution
If you're using version < 1,
`var clients = io.sockets.clients(nick.room); // all users from room`
Problem
I have this code right now that sets the nick and room: ``` io.sockets.on('connection', function(client){ var Room = ""; client.on("setNickAndRoom", function(nick, fn){ client.join(nick.room); Room = nick.room; client.broadcast.to(Room).emit('count', "Connected:" + " " + count); fn({msg :"Connected:" + " " + count}); }); ``` I wanted to know how I could get how many people are connected to a specific chatroom...like Room.length client side : ``` function Chat(){ this.socket = null; this.Nickname = ""; this.Room = ""; var synched = $('#syncUp'); this.Connect = function(nick, room){ socket = io.connect('http://vybeing.com:8080'); Nickname = nick; Room = room; //conectarse socket.on('connect',function (data) { socket.emit('setNickAndRoom', {nick: nick, room: room}, function(response){ $("#connection").html("<p>" + response.msg + "</p>"); }); }); } ``` I found this, but it gives undefined: ``` count = io.rooms[Room].length; ```
