A way for publisher to not get published message?

[gitcatrat]

Thanks for making this wonderful library, I cannot believe I almost went with ws. This makes me want to learn C so bad.

Hypothetical scenario:

• user logs into chat app
• navigates to /group/123
• subscibes to /group/123 uws topic
• sends a mesage (ideally would display if user hits Send, client already has data!)
• message gets publish'd and sent to everybody in group, including himself

Is there any way to exclude himself from receiving the message?

I'd rather not maintain my own topics and subscribers in Node land, that would probably be a lot worse than extra message operational and network overhead. It could add up a lot though if I used this pattern a lot.

I agree this is an important feature. It is planned for next major version. Right now you cannot exclude the sender.

[gitcatrat]

Awesome to hear! Do you have any approximate timeframe for next major version?

Would be super useful to have this feature out. Is it still planned?

Ah I didn't realize the behavior was changed instead of adding a new method. Thanks for the reply

Would sending a nonce to the server, and then back again work for you?

If the message is equal to the current nonce on the client, then the message is discarded.
