Socket.io rooms difference between broadcast.to and sockets.in

Question

Socket.io\'s readme contains the following example:

    var io = require(\'socket.io\').listen(80);

    io.sockets.on         


        

Answer 1

In Socket.IO 1.0, .to() and .in() are the same. And others in the room will receive the message. The client sends it won't receive the message.

Check out source code (v1.0.6):
