ViewsPeerJs peer.connections deprecated
I am trying to get all peers that are currently connected to me, but it says connections is deprecated.
const peer = new Peer('my_id');
const connections = peer.connections;
Documentation says: We recommend keeping track of connections yourself rather than relying on this hash.
Let's say I keep track of all peers id in array. How should I handle the ids so that I get the same result as with peer.connections ?
Example:
peer.connections returns: 
What method do I need to call to get the same results from peer id in my array?

I think you should create a listener when a connection is established. You may achieve this by implementing a wrapper that will unify client usage of peer js
class MyPeer {
constructor() {
this.instance = new Peer()
}
async connect() {
return new Promise(resolve => {
this.connection = peer.connect(new Date().getTime()) // create a unique id for each connection
this.connection.on('open', () => resolve(this.connection))
})
}
}
Assuming you are taking this (very naïve, without proper error handling) implementation, you may keep track of connections like this
const peer = new MyPeer()
const connection = await peer.connect()
myConnectionsArray.push(connection)
It worth mentioning that you may remove connections from array when a connection is closed and probably wrap everything in a class (say ConnectionsManagaer or something similar). Besides that, it should satisfy your request
