Express.io obviously combines socket.io and express for node.js. I'm trying however to find a way to get the # of sockets currently in a room and I can't find the right way to do it.
The code i've tried:
app.io.room('room').broadcast.length > 0
at first i thought this was the answer, but it turns out it just gives me the length of all sockets (at least i think that's what it's giving me).
or
app.io.socket.sockets.clients('room')
sockets doesn't exist on socket. I tried this one based off of the way to do it with socket.io alone.
Looking at : getting how many people are in a chat room in socket.io
It seems like it is easy to do with socket.io, I just can't seem to find it in express.io
Edit:
I've tried:
console.log(app.io.sockets.in(room).length);
console.log(express.io.sockets.in(room).length);
first one = undefined
second one = error (Cannot call method 'in' of undefined)
