My attention is to get logged in ( online user list). how this is possible as appwrite server sdk is not ready for realtime yet.

Summary

Developers are discussing how to achieve real-time updates with the channel "account" in an app using Next.js. One suggestion is creating a separate UserActive collection and manually updating it when a user logs in. Another developer suggests using the Appwrite function to subscribe to the "account" channel and handle events. This would involve monitoring user sessions to determine online or active status. The key is to utilize event triggers offered by Appwrite.

Logging in does not translate to "online users"

Please be as informative as you can. As your original post does not really explain anything. When a user signs in, that user receives a session object. How do you define "online user" in this context?

How does your approach look like? What is your code? You have to provide a lot more information than that

Plain text


const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
    .setProject('<PROJECT_ID>');

client.subscribe('account', response => {
    // Callback will be executed on all account events.
    console.log(response);
});
 ``` based on the document, I. could use real time to subcribe to account channel, so whenever user create session ( login) it would return to the subcriber!  my intension is to collect those user id having the sessions (login) . then in the system can identified them as online or active.

In appwrite functions you are supposed to use the event trigger https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/platform/events

Also the user can stop the app in the meantime. So not sure what you mean with "online" and "active"

Just because the user logged in at some point does not nessecarily mean that the user is online as long as the session is active

user should be considered active until it left broswer

if I use nextjs, onroot layout component disposed, trigger to remove from the collection. then all subcriber should be notified

the workaround solution for this I could think of is creating separated collection UserActive , and when user login -> manually update add userId to the collection then giving real time subcription to that collection! however, i see there is way to subcribe to 'account' channel, which should be more appropriate

I see we can get real time with channel "account"

Need support?_
