how to customize ASGI ChannelLayer ?

[wang sheng]

I an developing a chat app, while some user is offline, I need to persist  the message from his  online friends .  so , I think it is good choice to develop a customized ChannelLayer  which will transfer all offline messages to a consumer worker who save message to cache .  is it right that using ChannelLayer to do such work ? 

     

   But,  I doesn't find any useful information about How to customize the ChannelLayer.

No, that's not what a channel layer is meant to do - it's for short term buffering (messages expire after a minute by default).

I suggest you use a database.
