Simple rooms wrapper for Primus
npm install primus-rooms


Node.JS module that adds room capabilities to a Primus server.
```
npm install primus-rooms
`javascript
var Primus = require('primus');
var Rooms = require('primus-rooms');
var server = require('http').createServer();
// primus instance
var primus = new Primus(server, { transformer: 'websockets' });
// add rooms to Primus
primus.plugin('rooms', Rooms);
primus.on('connection', function (spark) {
spark.on('data', function(data) {
data = data || {};
var action = data.action;
var room = data.room;
// join a room
if ('join' === action) {
spark.join(room, function () {
// send message to this client
spark.write('you joined room ' + room);
// send message to all clients except this one
spark.room(room).except(spark.id).write(spark.id + ' joined room ' + room);
});
}
// leave a room
if ('leave' === action) {
spark.leave(room, function () {
// send message to this client
spark.write('you left room ' + room);
});
}
});
});
server.listen(8080);
`
`javascript
var primus = Primus.connect('ws://localhost:8080');
primus.on('open', function () {
// Send request to join the news room
primus.write({ action: 'join', room: 'news' });
// Send request to leave the news room
primus.write({ action: 'leave', room: 'news' });
// print server message
primus.on('data', function (message) {
console.log(message);
});
});
`
`javascript`
primus.write({ room: 'chat', msg: 'Hello some one' });
`javascript
primus.on('connection', function(spark){
spark.on('data', function(data){
var room = data.room;
var message = data.msg;
// check if spark is already in this room
if (~spark.rooms().indexOf(room)) {
send();
} else {
// join the room
spark.join(room, function(){
send();
});
}
// send to all clients in the room
function send() {
spark.room(room).write(message);
}
});
});
`
`javascript`
spark1.join('user:*');
spark2.join('user::');
spark3.join('user:::123');
Then later in your code send a message as normal like this:
`javascript`
// All clients of the rooms above should receive 'hello'.
primus.in('user:jb:abc:123').write('hello');
All clients that joined rooms user:, user::, user::*:123 should receive the hello message.
`javascript
// All clients of the rooms above should receive 'hello'.
spark1.on('data', function ondata(msg) {
console.log(msg); //-> hello
});
spark2.on('data', function ondata(msg) {
console.log(msg); //-> hello
});
spark3.on('data', function ondata(msg) {
console.log(msg); //-> hello
});
`
in the rooms options when instantiating primus.`javascript
var Primus = require('primus');
var Rooms = require('primus-rooms');
var server = require('http').createServer();// disabling wildcard
var primus = new Primus(server, { rooms: { wildcard: false } });
// add rooms to Primus
primus.plugin('rooms', Rooms);
`For more examples on how to use
wildcard check the wildcard tests.API
$3
Set your own
adapter for rooms, by default primus-rooms comes
with its own memory adapter primus-rooms-adapter but its easy to provide a custom one.`javascript
// as argument
var primus = new Primus(url, {
transformer: 'sockjs',
rooms: { adapter: myAdapter }
});
primus.plugin('rooms', Rooms);// by setting the property
primus.adapter = new MyAdapter();
`For more information on how to create your own custom adapter check out the documentation of primus-rooms-adapter.
$3
Join multiple sparks to a
room or multiple rooms, fn is optional callback.`javascript
primus.join([spark1, spark2, spark3], 'news', fn);// to multiple rooms
primus.join([spark1, spark2, spark3], 'news sport', fn);
`Join multiple sparks to a
room or multiple rooms by passing spark ids.`javascript
primus.join(['1389028863093$0', '1389028862534$1', '1389028862896$3'], 'news', fn);// to multiple rooms
primus.join(['1389028863093$0', '1389028862534$1', '1389028862896$3'], 'news sport', fn);
`You can also mix ids with instances in the array:
`javascript
primus.join([spark1, spark2, '1389028862896$3'], 'news', fn);
`You can also pass a single spark instance or id to join a room or multiple rooms:
`javascript
primus.join(spark, 'news', fn);
`
This is also equivalent:`javascript
primus.join('1389028863093$0', 'news', fn);
`$3
Remove multiple sparks from a
room or multiple rooms, fn is optional callback.`javascript
primus.leave([spark1, spark2, spark3], 'news', fn);// multiple rooms
primus.leave([spark1, spark2, spark3], 'news sport', fn);
`Remove multiple sparks from a
room or multiple rooms by passing spark ids.`javascript
primus.leave(['1389028863093$0', '1389028862534$1', '1389028862896$3'], 'news', fn);// multiple rooms
primus.leave(['1389028863093$0', '1389028862534$1', '1389028862896$3'], 'news sport', fn);
`You can also mix ids with instances in the array:
`javascript
primus.leave([spark1, spark2, '1389028862896$3'], 'news', fn);
`You can also pass a single spark instance or id to leave a room or multiple rooms:
`javascript
primus.leave(spark, 'news', fn);
`

primus.leave('1389028863093$0', 'news', fn);
`$3
Target a specific
room or rooms for broadcasting a message.`javascript
primus.room('room').write('hi');
`in is an equivalent method to room:`javascript
primus.in('room').write('hi');
`$3
Send a message to a specific
room.`javascript
primus.room('room').write('hi');
`
or to multiple rooms at once:`javascript
primus.room('sport news art').write('hi');
`$3
Broadcast messages to clients in a room except to those especified.
`javascript
primus.room('room').except('1386018854525$0 1386018854526$1').write('hi');
`or pass an array:
`javascript
var except = ['1386018854525$0', '1386018854526$1'];
primus.room('room').except(except).write('hi');
`$3
Get all client
ids connected to a specific room.
If no callback is passed the function will return synchronously the ids
but please remember that NOT all adapters are guaranteed to be able to do
this operation synchronously.`javascript
primus.room('room').clients(fn);
`or synchronously if adapter supports it:
`javascript
var clients = primus.room('room').clients();
console.log(clients);
`$3
Remove all clients from a
room or multiple rooms.`javascript
primus.room('sport').empty();// or
primus.empty('sport');
`or multiple rooms at the same time:

primus.empty('news sport');
`$3
`javascript
primus.room('room').transform(function transform(packet) {
var spark = this;
if (spark.user.name === 'John Doe') {
packet.data[0] = 'hi ' + spark.user.name;
} // If you want to prevent the
data event from happening,
// simply return false and the event won't be sent.}).write('hi');
`This also work asynchronously:
`javascript
primus.room('room').transform(function transform(packet, done) {
var spark = this;
if (spark.user.name === 'John Doe') {
setTimeout(function () {
packet.data[0] = 'hi ' + spark.user.name;
