Websockets connected clients count

Hi, I'd like to know how to get the amount of connected clients.

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { upgradeWebSocket } from 'hono/cloudflare-workers'
const app = new Hono()
const obj = { data: 5 };

//i'm periodically changing the data in obj
function startTimer() {
    return setInterval(() => {
        obj.data = Math.random();
    }, 1000);
}

const wsApp = app.get(
    '/ws',
    upgradeWebSocket((c) => {
        let timer: NodeJS.Timeout;
        return {
            onOpen: (event, ws) => {
                console.log('connected');
                ws.send(JSON.stringify(obj));
                timer = startTimer();
            },
            onClose: (event, ws) => {
                //if no clients are connected stop the timer
                // if ( ws.clients.size === 0) {
                //     clearInterval(timer);
                // }
            }
        }
    })
)

export type WebSocketApp = typeof wsApp;

            }
        }
    })
)

export type WebSocketApp = typeof wsApp;

Thank you for anyone's help in advance.

I believe you have to track them on your app side, it's not something that the protocol does automatically for you. Maybe use something like redis if your function is executed in serverless environments?

If you were on a server, you could have created a global variable which increments and decrements on onOpen and onClose but for workers you will need to store this value on an external storage solutions like KV or DurableObject

unfortunately you will have manually keep track of it
