Using socket.io is a good choice here: https://socket.io.

Once a user logs in successfully, you can emit an event to broadcast to everybody else that he is online. Similarly, when the user logs out, you can emit another event to broadcast to everybody else that he went offline. (Also when he closes the browser without logging out properly).

Using socketio you can emit and listen to events between the client and the server. You can broadcast events to multiple clients, you can add clients to rooms and broadcast events specifically to the clients in the room, and do a whole lot of things!

Good luck.
