Friendship

Friends Manager for your application, will manage relationships between userids and a socketid, which could b-e used with Socket.io to manage the online and offline friends in real time.

Getting Started

npm install friendship --save-dev

Create a friendship Manager

var Friendship = require('friendship');
 
var friendship = new Friendship({
  expire: 3000 //auto checkouts in 3 seconds
});

Register friends of user with id "uid1"

friendship.register('uid1', ['uid2', 'uid3', 'uid4']);

CheckIn of a user with a Socket

friendship.checkin('uid1', 'socketId');

After the expire time (set on initialization), this socket will do a checkout unless a .check() is run before it.

Check to reset expiration

friendship.check('uid1', 'socketId');

Checkout of a user socket

friendship.checkout('uid1', 'socketId');

Can also run a checkout of all sockets that it could have:

friendship.checkout('uid1');

Unregister friends of a user

friendship.unregister('uid1');

This will run a checkout of all sockets and remove the user from any relationship. Can be used to make the user to an offline state on every socket.

TODO

• Add option to use Redis store.
• A way to clear all.
