how to list rooms on socket.io nodejs server

问题:

after progress on the question how to create socket.io multicast groups, I found making rooms a great way to do what I needed.

However, it would be great to know about all the rooms, without an extra data-structure.

Is it possible to get a list of all rooms on the server from the server socket?

回答1:

The short answer:

io.sockets.adapter.rooms

I analysed io:

I got the following output:

{ server: 
   { stack: 
      [ [Object],
        [Object],
        [Object],

  rooms: 
   { '': [ '210837319844898486' ],

  oldListeners: [ [Function] ],
  _events: 
   { 'set:origins': [Function],
     'set:flash policy port': [Function],
     'set:transports': [Function] } }

after joining room "public-alfred" from a single client io.sockets.adapter.rooms contained:

 { '': [ '210837319844898486' ],
         '/public-alfred': [ '210837319844898486' ] }

In a new version of socket.io (1.x), io.sockets.manager.rooms will cause an error. You should use io.sockets.adapter.rooms instead.

回答3:

As everyone said, in a new version of socket.io (1.x) the rooms can be found at:

    io.sockets.adapter.rooms

This will return something like:

{ 
    'qNADgg3CCxESDLm5AAAA': [ 'qNADgg3CCxESDLm5AAAA': true ],
    'myRoom': [ 'qNADgg3CCxESDLm5AAAA': true,
                '0rCX3v4pufWvQ6uwAAAB': true,
                'iH0wJHGh-qKPRd2RAAAC': true ],  
    '0rCX3v4pufWvQ6uwAAAB': [ '0rCX3v4pufWvQ6uwAAAB': true ],  
    'iH0wJHGh-qKPRd2RAAAC': [ 'iH0wJHGh-qKPRd2RAAAC': true ] 
}

The only room that I want to get is 'myRoom', so I wrote the following function for doing that:

function findRooms() {
    var availableRooms = [];
    var rooms = io.sockets.adapter.rooms;
    if (rooms) {
        for (var room in rooms) {
            if (!rooms[room].hasOwnProperty(room)) {
                availableRooms.push(room);
            }
        }
    }
    return availableRooms;
}

This was kind of confusing for me, hope this helps!

回答4:

in case you are using

socket.io 2.1.0

and chanced upon this.

in 2.1.0, all the rooms in the server are located in the variable io.sockets.adapter.rooms

//Use Example//

sockets.on('getRooms', function() {
    sockets.emit('rooms', io.sockets.adapter.rooms);
});

You will get the following results.

{ xqfGuWYkKzT9hGgGAAAB: Room { sockets: { xqfGuWYkKzT9hGgGAAAB: true }, length: 1 }, '0Ak9nTjme7bLsD8NAAAC': Room { sockets: { '0Ak9nTjme7bLsD8NAAAC': true }, length: 1 } }

回答5:

If io.sockets.adapter is undefined..

I'm using socket.io 1.7.1 (Server).

It seems io.of("......").sockets.adapter is undefined on that version of socket.io. So I used io.adapter.rooms instead and it works.

回答6:

I was able to find them using socket._events on an open connection.

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
  socket.on('ping', function(data){
    console.log(socket._events);
  });
});

Output:

{
  ping: [Function],
  disconnect: [Function]
}

回答7:

I don't have enough reputation to post my comment to the original question, but in addition, if you want to list all the rooms in a namespace, it should be coded like this:

var nsp = io.of('/my-nsp');

var rooms = nsp.adapter.rooms;

This would help so that if a client join a room by:

socket.join('my-room');

You should be able to see your room name when you do console.log(rooms);

I just want to answer an unanswered comment above as I ran into the same issue after I saw mismatched room names.

回答8:

Object.keys(io.sockets.adapter.rooms)

use this to get all rooms.
