How can I connect to other peer if there is no way of knowing its id?

[demian85]

I don't get it. Examples have no sense.
How can I get a list of the currently connected peers? Am i supposed to guess the id or what?
I thought the purpose of the server was to keep track of the connected peers. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

It's up to your application to provide a mechanism, peerjs just provides a way to connect two peers together by a fast data pipe and provide presence information on both sides. Peerjs is not a "chat room" technology where people sign up for user accounts with user names you can communicate to. If this is the system you want, its up to you to have a database with the mapping of username to whatever the latest peerjs id is.
