Send message to multiple clients over websocket

[mishudark]

In the api, I can't see any method to send a message to various
clients connected over websocket, or how can I send a message to a
especific users over websocket at the same time?

Each instance of a Websocket class holds only the one connection to
that one user. If you want to say, build a chat room, you keep a list
of each websocket object handle and iterate over the list, sending to
each client.

And how can I get the list of the websocket conections?

Inside the on connect handler you would add the client to a global list.

clients = []

def on_connect_handler(self, ...):

    clients.append(self)

def on_message_handler(self, ...):

    for client in clients:

         client.send(...)

Something like that.

Was going to add this but accidentally sent before I could add it.

def on_message(self, message):

for websocket in websockets:
if websocket != self:
websocket.send(message)
