Process for creating group room and allowing others to join unclear.

Hi,
I can't seem to find an example of group rooms.
I don't really understand the reason for supplying a list of users when you create it, so I just start with an empty list and this allows creation of the room with the user who created it able to type messages which get saved.
If I have another user who wishes to join the discussion, how does that work?
I have the id for the room which was created but I feel there really should be a joinRoom(roomId, user) function which adds the current firebase user to the room but obviously there isn't one.
Many thanks.
Hello.
I feel like this package makes people to wonder more why is it done in some way and why feature X is not here, rather than actually help with something.
Actual lib code is like 1-2 days of work, it just uses Firebase libs underneath, nothing fancy. Adding a join room is not a problem even outside of the lib. I think I need to convert this to just an example app, and let people do things like they need for the specific project.
I am currently focused on re-writing the UI properly from scratch so I wouldn't expect any activity here, so I'd suggest to just write this yourself using Firebase and then you can design your code in a way that suits your needs, rather than relying on something that is obviously doesn't work and only stands in way.
I think you've done really well here and the work already undertaken ( and in particular the presentation of the website ) is such that it creates a sense of completeness, even if by your own admission, it isn't.
Please do not misunderstand, there are no complaints here - just gratitude.
