Profile.online is a meteor smart package to provide a convenient way to expose accounts online status.
Publish with relations can be installed with Meteorite. From inside a Meteorite-managed app:
$ mrt add profile-onlineThere is nothing you have to do to get this package working.
Install it, # to your application and you will get
your profile.online field set to true. Log out,
and it goes false.
You can use Meteor._onLogin and Meteor._onLogout callbacks server-side to do stuff when users comes in and out. Example:
Meteor._onLogin = function (userId) { console.log(userId + "just logged in.") }
Meteor._onLogout = function (userId) { console.log(userId + "just logged out.") }There are two global variables this SmartPackage rely at:
config.keepalive.interval(defaults to60)config.keepalive.timeout(defaults to10)
It is not necessary to set them up if you don't want to change the default values.
On the client, there is a reactive function that calls
Meteor.keepalive method on user # and every
60 seconds after that. On the server, the Meteor.keepalive
method sets user profile.online field to true
and sets a timer to 70 seconds which will set profile.online
to false. The timer is reset on each Meteor.keepalive
method call. There is also a function that overrides Meteor.logout
method to set user's profile.online to false when he
logs out.
