Application object
This section includes recommendations to help you optimize your use of the server-side
Application object, including tips on how and why to set up application.OnConnect and
application.OnDisconnect functions.
Application.onConnect
Setting up methods in
application.onConnect is a good approach when you want to set up
different methods based on user login information. However, if you want to set up a method that
is available to all clients, use the
prototype property of the Client object:
// A user has connected
application.onConnect = function( newClient, userName )
{
if (userName == "admin")
{
newClient.adminFunc= function(param)
{
// some code that’s only useful to the admin
newClient.myAdminProperty = param;
}
} else
{
// code for most cases
}
// Allow the logon
application.acceptConnection( newClient );
}
// this part could be in a separate file
// Every client (including admin) is going to have this function
// (because of the way "prototype" works).
Client.prototype.commonFunction = function (myColor)
{
// some code
// use this to refer to the client instead of newClient
this.color = myColor;
}
Also, if you want to use the call method on the client object that is connecting, make sure you
call
application.acceptConnection and know that the client is connected before issuing any
additional commands:
application.onConnect = function(clientObj,name,passwd)
{
// First accept the connection
application.acceptConnection(clientObj);
// After client is registered with the application instance
// you can use "call" method
clientObj.call("onWelcome", "You are now connected!!!");
return;
// Once you call acceptConnection or
// rejectConnection within onConnect, return value is ignored.
