So i am running a online chat function using js that currently sends and receives messages and has a user count in the top right corner that updates when a user leaves or joins. I need help with making a js function that you can submit a name to and it saves it and prints it alongside your own messages. my current code on chat.js-
var WebSocketServer = require("ws").Server;
var wss = new WebSocketServer({port:3030});
var msgArray = new Array();
wss.on("connection", function(client) {
client.on("message", function(message) {
wss.clients.forEach(function(client) {
sendChat(client, message);
});
msgArray.push(message);
});
sendChat(client, `Welcome to chat :)`);
sendUC();
msgArray.forEach(function(item) {
sendChat(client, item);
})
});
function sendChat(client, message) {
var msg = ["chat", message];
client.send(JSON.stringify(msg));
}
function sendUC(){
wss.clients.forEach(function(client){
var UCmsg = ["uc",wss.clients.size];
client.send(JSON.stringify(UCmsg));
});
}
My current code on client.js-
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://jg.codesphere.net:3030");
ws.onmessage = function (payload) {
var msg = JSON.parse(payload.data);
if (msg[0] == "chat") {
addMessage(msg[1]);
}
if (msg[0] == "uc") {
addMessage("Another user joined");
adduc(msg[1]);
}
};
$(function () {
document.forms[0].onsubmit = function () {
var input = $("input#message").val();
$("input#message").val('');
ws.send(input);
};
});
function User() {
}
function addMessage(m) {
var html = "<p>" + m + "</p>";
$("div#messages").append(html);
}
function adduc(m) {
var html = "<p>" + m + "</p>";
$("span#1").html(m + " users online");
}
So i need help with where i would call a user entry function and how to make the function.
