should be possible to get client id

[ffabreti]

there are use cases where client needs to send client_id to the server

would that be possible with message_bus-client ?

I'm not entirely sure that exporting the client ID is necessarily a good thing. I think that that this library should emulate the JS API.

If discourse/message_bus#85 is closed with the API added, I would support adding this. However, if it takes a different route, I'd prefer to follow that.

SamSaffron/message_bus#85 doesn't need to be closed, because anyone can get or set MessageBus.client_id at the current API.
I mean, right now, your lib is not emulating JS API behavior.

Hmm, to me that is currently an undocumented feature and is purely implementation specific. It would be no different if you used instance_variable_get and instance_variable_set to achieve what you want.
