Document listAllPeers()

[kenianbei]

I'm not quite clear on how listAllPeers() is used, it seems to expect a callback rather than just returning a list. Can you post an example of usage?

listAllPeers has to contact the server, so it's asynchronous. I'm hesitant to document it just yet, because I'm still looking into how to best implement this. There's an example usage in jquery.peer: https://github.com/michelle/jquery.peer/blob/master/lib/jquery.peer.js#L327

Thanks, I had no idea you had a jquery wrapper, wish I'd known 3 months ago :)

Haha, it's not done yet :).

is the method listAllPeers implemented on the server yet? if so what's the correct way to use it? Please forgive me, I'm a newbie...

start your own server with the option allow_discovery: true, I am using express, that is something like:

var server = app.listen(8080);

app.use('/peer', ExpressPeerServer(server, {
    allow_discovery: true,
    debug: !!process.env.DEBUG
}));

[eugenio]

i'm doing that:

var ExpressPeerServer = require('peer').ExpressPeerServer;

var options = { debug: true, allow_discovery: true }

// create a http server instance to listen to request var server = require('http').createServer(app);

// peerjs is the path that the peerjs server will be connected to. app.use('/peerjs', ExpressPeerServer(server, options)); // Now listen to your ip and port. server.listen(9000, "localhost");

var idList = server.listAllPeers;

app.get('/peerjs/ids', function (req, res) { return res.send(idList); });

this is my code.

But even when the app is running I get "undefined" object when i try to "console.log(idList)"

What am I doing wrong?

Haven't fully tested it myself, but listAllPeers is a method in the client library not on the server. AFAIK set allow_discovery: true on the server and try calling listAllPeers on the client https://github.com/peers/peerjs/blob/master/lib/peer.js#L457
