I have an app where I need the users to be able to send a message. Right now, users can send a message and socket IO broadcasts the message, but the sender also receives. I need messages sent to go to everyone but sender
Server code:
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
socket.on("upGuess", (guess, room) => {
if (room) {
socket.to(room).emit("broadcastMessage", guess);
} else {
socket.broadcast.emit("broadcastMessage", guess);
}
});
});
Client side Code:
socket.on("broadcastMessage", (guess) => {
console.log(guess);
});
const handleButton = () => {
socket.emit("upGuess", "TestGuess");
};
Current behavior: User A calls handleButton function, User A and User B receive broadcastMessage and console log guess
Wanted behavior: User A calls handleButton function. Only user B receives broadcastMessage and logs guess
