Get the client id of the message sender in socket.io?

Question

on the server side i got

socket.on(\'chat\', function (data) {
    io.sockets.socket(data.clientid).emit(\'chat\', {
        msg: data.msg,
        senderid : se         


        

Answer 1

I'd suggest sending over a username (make sure it's unique) and keeping an object of client ids associated with usernames in memory.
