Socket.io disconnect client by id

Question

I\'m new to nodejs and trying to write a chat room as so many people have. The chat consists of multiple rooms and clients. Commands such as /nick /join

Answer 1

The following code works with Socket.IO 1.0, however I'm not sure that this is the best solution:

if (io.sockets.connected[socket.id]) {
    io.sockets.connected[socket.id].disconnect();
}

Update:

With Socket.IO 0.9 the code would be slightly different:

if (io.sockets.sockets[socket.id]) {
    io.sockets.sockets[socket.id].disconnect();
}
