a query related to firebase presence app using javascript sdk. I have seen that there is 60 seconds buffer after the internet is disconnected after which the entries are removed from the firebase real tim edatabase. Is it possible to configure this time from 60 seconds to lets say 30 seconds? . I basically want the entries to be removed from the presence as soon as the internet is disconnected. If not immediately then at least sooner than a minute alteast.Does anybody have any idea on this?
There are two ways an onDisconnect handler can be triggered on the Firebase servers:
onDisconnect handlers immediately.onDisconnect handlers.Detecting the dirty disconnects takes some times (upwards to a few minutes) and there's no way for you to configure it.
If you want more granular presence detection, the common approach is to periodically write a timestamp into the database from the client. This indicates when the client was last active, and can be used by the other clients to then indicate the liveliness of that user/client.
