How to get a list of connected clients to the sails/socket?

I need to list all connected clients in sails/socket, any easy way to do it?

I don't know if the best way is to use database or just get a list of users connected to the sails/socket.

Thanks in advance.

When possible, it's best to use the built-in pubsub methods that Sails adds to models for you, documented here. Failing that, you can access low-level socket methods in v0.9.8 via sails.io, so it would be:

var sockets = sails.io.sockets.clients();

to get an array of socket objects.

In v0.10 it will be:

var sockets = sails.sockets.subscribers();

to get an array of socket IDs, which you can use with the other sails.sockets methods to publish messages and do other magic.
