Only broadcasts? No function to send to a particular socket.

[ynkm169]

normally within 1 node instance you could:
emit message from sockets[A] --->node instance -->sockets[B]
emit message from sockets[B] --->node instance -->sockets[A]

now, when i have 10 node instances, client A and client B on different instances, how do I send a message from A to B? Redis seem to only do broadcast.

PS: it seems if you do this on RedisStore it works:
socket.broadcast.emit('msg', data);
but how do I do
sockets[B].emit('msg', data);

You can do io.to(id).emit('event', data)

[ynkm169]

that would be fantastic!

Thanks for helping I will try it out.

What @olive75 suggested should indeed do the trick. Did you try that out, @ynkm169?
