// Join a room (aka subscribe) | |
// If you're in the room already, no problem, do nothing | |
// If the room doesn't exist yet, it gets created | |
socket.join('roomName'); | |
// Leave a room (aka unsubscribe) | |
// If you're not in the room, no problem, do nothing | |
// If the room doesn't exist yet, no problem, do nothing | |
socket.leave('roomName'); | |
// Get all connected sockets in the app | |
sails.io.sockets.clients(); | |
// Get all conneted sockets in the room, "roomName" | |
sails.io.sockets.clients('roomName'); | |
} | |
}; | |
//Client | |
//If you need to use .emit() in sails.socket, you should use _raw.emit() | |
io.socket._raw.emit('eventName', jsonData); | |
//io.socket._raw will get the raw, underlying socket.io instance on the client, which will have the emit method. | |
//But this is not the recommended practice. With Sails Socket it is better to use .get(), .post(), .put(), or .delete(). |
