Getting metadata from a connected room

Hi,

I was wondering if its possible to access the metadata of a connected room.

the metadata is available using the client.getAvailableRooms() method

client.getAvailableRooms('map', (rooms, err) => {
  rooms.forEach((room) => {
   console.log(room.metadata) // Here it is
  })
})

but once you connect to a room we loose access:

client = new Client(ENDPOINT)
room = this.client.join('map')

room.metadata // Nothing here...

I saw that RoomAvailable has the metadata attribute, but Room itself doesn’t.

Is it possible to pass this attribute to the connected Room instance?

Thanks!

The immediate thing does it! Thanks again!

@gmfc Thanks! The listen method accepts a third argument which means “immediate” - that will trigger the changes immediately:

this.room.listen('something', (change) => {}, true);

I just noticed this hasn’t been documented 🤔
