Still working on tweaking the list of users in live chat.
  • Added new code in update() hook for testing.

Code:
updated() {
    this.updateCount++;        // initially set to zero in data()
    if (this.updateCount % 5 === true || this.updateCount == 2) {
      this.getHereNow();
    }
    //console.log("update count", this.updateCount);
  },

It is interesting to console.log() the updateCount var.

For this page, after the initial page mount, updateCount == 2, so I set the logic to call this.getHereNow(); (again) testing, as it was also called when the page was first mounted (so this is a test, not final answer).

Then I noticed if we receive a new pubnub message the count is incremented by around 5. So for fun, I set this.updateCount % 5 == true but this is really just overkill, because I also call the same method when a message is received. so if I go with this kind of approach, using the view update() lifecycle hook, then I can get rid of the calls to the same method in other parts of the code and control the logic from update().

The problem I am trying to solve is that sometimes when a user enters live chat (that also includes "self"), their occupancy and name (uuid) does not appear correctly above the message window. As soon as a message is processed, all is updated because I call getHereNow() when a message is received.

Of course, if I setpubnub.subscribe() presence TRUE, this problem can be easily solved, but then the API pings the pubnub network every second or so, flooding the network with presence pings from the browser. This is not scaleable.

Hence, the best way forward, in my view, is for PubNub to include a new configuration timer in the pubnub.subscribe() so we can control the frequency of the pubnub presence pings (polling) in the browser.

Or maybe I am just missing some more obvious way in the PubNub SDK to do this more correctly?!

DESCRIPTION

       Net::Hotline::PrivateChat is a simple class for storing and retrieving private chat information,  You should never have to create your own

	   Creates a new Net::Hotline::PrivateChat object with the reference REF, userlist USERLIST, and subject SUBJECT, where REF is a number,
	   USERLIST is a reference to a hash of Net::Hotline::User objects keyed by socket number, and SUBJECT is a string.  Any missing arguments
	   will be set to undef.

METHODS

       All the Net::Hotline::PrivateChat methods are simple attribute get/set routines. If given an argument, they set an attribute.  In all
       cases, they return the current value of the attribute.

       reference NUM
	   The private chat reference number.

       subject TEXT
	   The subject of the private chat.
