Ddp.js get connection id

Hi guys I am writing a meteor app and using the ddp.js v0.6.0 to make my frontend with static html.
Now I need a way to get my session connection id in the front with ddp.js, is there anyway to do it?
In meteor I can just do Meteor.connection._lastSessionId, is there any equivalent of this in ddp.js?

ddp.js doesn’t store the DDP connection session ID, so there isn’t currently a way to get it. You could submit a PR to get this added in though, as it should be a pretty small change to the DDP class. I tested this quickly, but something like the following should work.

Change:

to:

this.socket.on("message:in", message => {
    if (message.msg === "connected") {
        this.status = "connected";
        // Store the session ID here
        this.sessionId = message.session;
        this.messageQueue.process();
        this.emit("connected");
    } else if (message.msg === "ping") {
        // Reply with a `pong` message to prevent the server from
        // closing the connection
        this.socket.send({msg: "pong", id: message.id});
    } else if (contains(PUBLIC_EVENTS, message.msg)) {
        this.emit(message.msg, message);
    }
});

You would then be able to reference ddp.sessionId via your created DDP Object.

Dear sir, I don’t mean to overuse your kindness but would you please implement the same thing in the version 0.6.0

Here is the code of it. Just give me a starting point and I think I’ll be able to go on my own from there.

Sure thing - you should be able to change the following:

to:

DDP.prototype._on_connected = function (data) {
  var self = this;
  var firstCon = self._reconnect_count === 0;
  var eventName = firstCon ? "connected" : "reconnected";
  self.readyState = 1;
  self._reconnect_count = 0;
  self._reconnect_incremental_timer = 0;
  // Set the session ID here
  self.sessionId = data.session;
  var length = self._queue.length;
  for (var i=0; i<length; i++) {
    self._send(self._queue.shift());
  }
  self._emit(eventName, data);
  // Set up keepalive ping-s
  self._ping_interval_handle = setInterval(function () {
    var id = uniqueId();
    self._send({
      msg: "ping",
      id: id
    });
  }, self._ping_interval);
};

This works great! Thank you! Do you think it is possible to save the ip the same way?
