WebSocket is just a communication protocol. it gives you a bi-directional connection, nothing more. It's very low-level and doesn't define app-specific logic like "rooms", "users", or "events".

How to Implement Rooms in WebSocket (Node.js)

Here’s the conceptual workaround:

  1. Maintain a rooms object on the server.

  2. When a client wants to join a room, you add their socket to that room array.

  3. When sending a message to a room, iterate over the clients in that room and send the message manually.

Reasons:
  • No code block (0.5):
  • Low reputation (1):
