I am building 2 separate express sites:
clients website - visitors can talk to me (the admin of the site) via
chat (1 on 1 only. they can't see each other).
admin website - for me, the admin, to see all current conversations
and the ability to reply to whatever user I want.
I am using socket.io to emit messages from the clients website to the
admin website.
Is there a way to update the Admin UI whenever the admin site receives
a message?
Is there a way from the UI to emit a message back to the client's
browser?
Is there a problem with the design of my sites? maybe i should have 3
separate apps and not 2 (so the socket.io server will stand on it's
own).
Any other alternatives/suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
this code is part of the Admin server:
basket = {}; // holds a hash of sockets
socket.on('msg', function (data) {
socket.get('nickname', function (err, name) {
console.log('Chat message by ', name, ' saying', data.text);
var to = basket[name];
// i don't want to send this from here. i want the admin to see
all messages from different users
// and he should be able to reply whenever he wants to
//to.emit('msg', { text: "what's up " + name });
});
});
});
