Socket Io Rooms Not Working

If you are using some db o nosql you can save it for distributed environments.

Socket io rooms not working.

I have also tried reconfiguring my server to match the suggestions made by raghavgarg1257 and it still did not work either. Within each namespace you can also define arbitrary channels that sockets can join and leave. Repost from so but i need answers so here. Report a bug request a feature current behaviour after updating my socket io from 1 x to 2 1 1 my sockets are not joining any rooms anymore.

Additonally if rooms list is temporary you can clean it whit controlled event after disconnecting. Although socket io indeed uses websocket as a transport when possible it adds additional metadata to each packet. In disconnect event you can query this object to know the rooms you have to leave. So my socket join calls are doing nothing.

In server code socket rooms is not an array that is a object. Please use the classic socket emit instead. When i use socket join xxx socket rooms can t be set. What socket io is not.

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. 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 provides additional features over a plain websocket object which are listed below. Rooms also share the same socket connection like namespaces.

Steps to reproduce if the current behaviour is a bug async socketjoinroom socket. To add to this i have downgraded versions of socket io back to 1 5 0 and still getting the same issue. In that case every socket in the room excluding the sender will get the event. Rooms are used to further separate concerns.

One thing to keep in mind while using rooms is that they can only. But first let s detail what the socket io library is not. These channels are called rooms. 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.

Where you can save socket id or other identifier with rooms. To leave a channel you call leave in the same fashion as join both methods are asynchronous and accept a callback argument.
