Online User Search Plugin for ChatEngine

Adds the ability to search for currently online users on a ChatEngine Chat

Quick Start

0. Have a ChatEngine server running already, instantiate a client and connect it

const ChatEngine = ChatEngineCore.create({
    publishKey: 'pub-key-here',
    subscribeKey: 'sub-key-here'
};

ChatEngine.connect('Username');
ChatEngine.on('$ready', () = { ... });

1. Attach this plugin to the channel you want, in this case global

ChatEngine.global.plugin(ChatEngineCore.plugin['chat-engine-online-user-search']());

2. Query the channel for a search term

// returns all users with uuid's containing 'foo'
ChatEngine.global.onlineUserSearch.search('foo');
