WebRtc chat app with Rails 6

[fugee ohu]

I wanna use channel for 2 users to chat privately with each other but channels are hard coded into the app To build for 2 people to chat privately I would have to create channels on the fly because if 2 people chat in a channel and then 2 other people begin a chat in the same channel then there would be 4 users in the channel What to do?

and for those new to fugee who think this is a little harsh

I don't think you'll find a single question where the smallest amount of effort has been shown before he asks the group to do his work for him

You can disregard what you don't like Stay off my threads  You have no right to libel me in public forum where millions of people are reading You wanna have a popularity contest and divide a forum on personal grounds because you're a bad person

FWIW Rob is not libelling you - and I’m pretty sure he’s not rooting for a beauty pageant either ;)

it’s a simple google - and just a little bit of effort on your part: https://www.google.com/search?q=web+channel+rails

Channels are meant to be for ‘all’ to publish/subscribe to - but you could devise a way to narrow the channel like 

consumer.subscriptions.create({ channel: "ChatChannel", room: “A Room for me and my best pal Rob!" })

 I thought I'd be creating a channel called let's say "room" I'm surprised to see the room argument passed to subscriptions.create I guess I do have some more reading to do

[fugee ohu]

Thanks Can you show me where I would use the room: value pair elsewhere to limit the chat to the intended 2 users only

guess what; The Rails Action Cable guide talks about authorization

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_cable_overview.html 

I know it's pretty obscure, and not somewhere you would expect to look, but Google has your back too

Thanks Will read asap Working on the video part right now I had already decided to limit the participants of the text chat with a where filter to @messages= in the controller Does that sound about right?
