Question

I´m going crazy with socket.io! Documentation is so bad it\'s simply not true.

I want to send a feedback to specific client over socket.io

My server side loo

Answer 1

The correct way to do this in Socket.io 1.0+ is:

io.to(users_socket_id).emit('new', 'hello');

You can also substitute a room name for 'users_socket_id' to emit to a specific socket.io room.
