# Sockets API

Here is the list of Socket's methods, most of them are designed to be use internally by the system, but you can find some useful ones for your projects.

## deleteChatMessage

Delete ChatMessage by his `id`, the GM permission is required, so a GM needs to be connected for this to work. Used in RnK.

Usage :

```js
game.l5r5e.sockets.deleteChatMessage(messageId);
```

## refreshAppId

Refresh an application windows by his `id` (not `appId`). Used in RnK.
<br>Ex : `l5r5e-twenty-questions-dialog-kZHczAFghMNYFRWe`, not `65`.

Usage :

```js
game.l5r5e.sockets.refreshAppId(applicationId);
```

## updateMessageIdAndRefresh

Change the message in the selected application windows, and re-render the application to force the refresh. Used in RnK.

Usage :

```js
game.l5r5e.sockets.refreshAppId(applicationId, messageId);
```
