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, sign in 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 sign in 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.
