Question

First of all, here’s my code:

var users = {};

//User Connect
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.emit('connected');
    socket.on('session', function (session){

     users[socket.id] = [session, socket];
     console.log(users);
     socket.emit("session_established");

     //User Disconnect
     socket.on('disconnect', function (){ 
         delete users[socket.id];
         socket.broadcast.emit('disconnect', { data : session});
    }); 


    //The above all works as it should, now here it what I want to do:

    socket.on('chatMessage', function (message, userID) {
    users[userIDsSocket][userID].emit('chatMessageResponse', { data: message});
    });


    });    
});

Here’s what my data looks like, (and this is for one user):

{ '17819180631362480757': //this value is users[socket.id]
[ '1',               //this value is session at the top, and in the bottom part userID 
 { id: '17819180631362480757', //The rest of this is the socket data
   namespace: [Object],
   manager: [Object],
   disconnected: false,
   ackPackets: 0,
   acks: {},
   flags: [Object],
   readable: true,
   store: [Object],
   _events: [Object] } ] }

so this is kind of what I need to do (Just in english terms of how it should function):

oh and first, there can be multiple userID’s/Session that are the same, if the user has the window open in more than one tab/computer/device, so it needs to send it to every socket that has the same userID

socket.on('chatMessage', function (message, userID) {  

for each (users[*].userID==userID)
{
    users[*][userID].emit('chatMessageResponse', { data: message});
}
});

So I don’t know how I would go through each part disregarding socket.id (where i placed [*]

Change to:

users[socket.id] = {userID:session, socketID:socket};

then:

for (var key in users)
{
if (users[key].userID==userID)
{

users[key].socketID.emit('new_request_response', { data: message});
}
}
