Question on wildcards

[newhouse]

In my app, Users have different "roles" within an Organization. I will want to send some messages to Users/connections of all "roles", while other messages should only be sent to Users/connections with a "role" that's >= to a specific role.

When Users connect, I'm adding them to a room that is a combination of their Organization ID + their role within it, e.g. <orgId>:<role>, e.g. ORG1234:admin.

I have 2 questions:

1. In this scenario, is there a way to send a message to all Users on an Org, regardless of their role? I would think something like primus.in('ORG1234:*').except(<filter_rooms>).send('update', data) would work, but it does not appear to work. It seems like things work in the opposite direction: a User/connection must join room ORG1234:* and a call like primus.in('ORG1234:admin').except(<filter_rooms>).send('update', data) would reach them. This seems backwards to me. Is this the case or am I missing something?

2. (This is less expected to work, but along the same vein:) Let's say that I change the string of admin to a value like 1, so in my above example a User would connect to ORG1234:1. Is there a way to send messages to Users/connections that are in <=2 for the "role" part? E.g. primus.in('ORG1234:<=2').except(<filter_rooms>).send('update', data)? Or do I have to create all the room IDs into an array and use them like primus.in(['ORG1234:1', 'ORG1234:2']).except(<filter_rooms>).send('update', data)?

Thanks for any help!

...I probably have to write/extend my own Adapter to behave this way, I'm guessing?

I've gone ahead and made my own adapter to support the behavior I was looking for:
primus-rooms-reverse-wildcard-adapter

Hopefully others may find this useful.

I will leave this open so that others may find it more easily, but feel free to close if you wish of course. Thank you for this library/package, and for having enough foresight and documentation to make what I wanted to so possible without much difficulty!
