How to create rooms in Socket.io and JavaScript?
To create rooms in Socket.io and JavaScript, we just call join to join the room.
For instance, we write
io.sockets.on("connection", (socket) => {
socket.on("create", (room) => {
socket.join(room);
});
});
to listen for the room create event on server side.
We get the room name and call join with it if the create event is emitted from client side.
On client side, we write
const socket = io.connect();
socket.emit("create", "room1");
to call socket.emit with 'create' and 'room1' to emit the create event with value 'room1‘.
Conclusion
To create rooms in Socket.io and JavaScript, we just call join to join the room.
