Socket Io Rooms Not Working

But first let s detail what the socket io library is not.

Socket io rooms not working.

Rooms also share the same socket connection like namespaces. Within each namespace you can also define arbitrary channels that sockets can join and leave. Steps to reproduce if the current behaviour is a bug async socketjoinroom socket. Please use the classic socket emit instead.

Where you can save socket id or other identifier with rooms. 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. Once again let me know if there s anything else you d like me to test or try and reproduce the issue. So my socket join calls are doing nothing.

In that case every socket in the room excluding the sender will get the event. Rooms are used to further separate concerns. When i use socket join xxx socket rooms can t be set. To add to this i have downgraded versions of socket io back to 1 5 0 and still getting the same issue.

One thing to keep in mind while using rooms is that they can only. In disconnect event you can query this object to know the rooms you have to leave. What socket io is not. Socket to socket id emit will not work as it will send to everyone in the room named socket id but the sender.

Additonally if rooms list is temporary you can clean it whit controlled event after disconnecting. Socket io provides additional features over a plain websocket object which are listed below. These channels are called rooms. I have also tried reconfiguring my server to match the suggestions made by raghavgarg1257 and it still did not work either.

Repost from so but i need answers so here. If you are using some db o nosql you can save it for distributed environments. 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. Socket io is not a websocket implementation.

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. I will get rooms with socket adapter rooms it s different to api doc.
