Expose Emit to channels from the server

[macnibblet]

Heya,

I have a use-case where I want to broadcast the status of something every second to a channel, but I cannot find a way to access the emitters without having an active connection. Any suggestions on how to do this ?

It's actually very easy, just create a list of WebsocketConnection and append the active connections on the OnConnection event and remove them on client.OnDisconnect. Create a function which will iterate these connections, and call their .To(websocket.Broadcast).Emit .

Be sure that you do that with channels or with locks in order to avoid any issues!
