Peer

Peer object allows easily interacting with connected clients.

Websocket hooks accept a peer instance as their first argument. You can use peer object to get information about each connected client or send a message to them.

You can safely log a peer instance to the console using console.log it will be automatically stringified with useful information including the remote address and connection status!
