Question

I saw this code snippet which talks about how to group socket connections from the same user but in different windows:

sio.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.join(socket.handshake.sessionID);
});

app.get('/user/:id/:message', function (req, res) {
    sio.sockets.in(req.params.id).send(req.params.message);
});

I got this from this blog post.

How do I catch this sent message on the JS client side?

Answer 1

Figured this out. This is how we can catch the message on the client side:

socket.on('message', function (msg) {
    console.log(msg);       
});
