Socket Io Rooms Not Working

Socket to socket id emit will not work as it will send to everyone in the room named socket id but the sender.

Socket io rooms not working.

Within each namespace you can also define arbitrary channels that sockets can join and leave. Socket io provides additional features over a plain websocket object which are listed below. In disconnect event you can query this object to know the rooms you have to leave. Steps to reproduce if the current behaviour is a bug async socketjoinroom socket.

Each socket in socket io is identified by a random unguessable unique identifier socket id for your convenience each socket automatically joins a room identified by its own id. To leave a channel you call leave in the same fashion as join both methods are asynchronous and accept a callback argument. One thing to keep in mind while using rooms is that they can only. Once again let me know if there s anything else you d like me to test or try and reproduce the issue.

When i use socket join xxx socket rooms can t be set. Although socket io indeed uses websocket as a transport when possible it adds additional metadata to each packet. Rooms also share the same socket connection like namespaces. Rooms are used to further separate concerns.

Please use the classic socket emit instead. These channels are called rooms. Repost from so but i need answers so here. In that case every socket in the room excluding the sender will get the event.

In server code socket rooms is not an array that is a object. After calling socket join and then listing the rooms the socket is in the socket is only connected to the room defined by it s id it s own room. Additonally if rooms list is temporary you can clean it whit controlled event after disconnecting. If you are using some db o nosql you can save it for distributed environments.

What socket io is not. So my socket join calls are doing nothing. Where you can save socket id or other identifier with rooms. I have also tried reconfiguring my server to match the suggestions made by raghavgarg1257 and it still did not work either.

But first let s detail what the socket io library is not. To add to this i have downgraded versions of socket io back to 1 5 0 and still getting the same issue.
