Answer 1

According to what i understand, you need private notification send to only some users. For that, save your users name to whom you want to send and their corresponding socket in different hashes.

username [socket.name] = username to be added;
usersocket [ socket.name ] =socket;

Then to emit the messages to that user only, use

usersocket[ socket.name ].emit('event for send message', ' what you want to send ');
