Upon login, get the client to send a login action through your websocket.
If you're not too worried about security, on the client, do something like:
sessionid = fetchMySessionID(); // you need to provide this function of
course;..
socket.emit('sessionid', sessionid);
Otherwise you'd need to send a crypto hash of the password for instance to
make sure nobody's spoofing your sessionid.
Then on the server side, keep track of your connections in a dictionary:
var connections = {};
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.on('sessionid', function(sessionid) {
console.log(sessionid, 'connected');
connections[username] = socket;
});
});
You can send send messages to a given session id:
connections[someSessionID].emit ('dummyEvent', { foo: 'bar', baz:
'buz' });
Is that what you're looking for?
Cheers
JM
