Emitting events

Server → Client

You emit events from the server using sendEvent().

client.sendEvent("message", "Hello from server");

• client: SocketIOClient instance.

• "message": event name.

• payload: object that will be serialized to the client (JSON allowed).

Emitting with multiple objects:

client.sendEvent("update", user, metadata);

You can emit from anywhere you hold a SocketIOClient, for example inside a listener.

Client → Server

From the client (JavaScript):

socket.emit("chat", { text:"Hi world" });
