Hi!

socket.to() and io.of() are available on the server side, not the client side.

Reference: https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-api/

thank u for answering :) im using python on the server side, okey so yeah from the server side I know how to do it, but from client side how can I pick a namespace and a room ? is there something I'm missing. Because I was looking at https://socket.io/docs/v4/namespaces/ and there was nothing mentioning it s server side. Am I understanding it correctly ?
thank u for ur pacience

because on python i have the emit function with kwargs and have room , namespace but in client ... i have only emit with first arg event name and second the data I'm sending :-?

[ciprianmacovei]

so for u to understand my flow:
every time a user logs in he makes a emit on the connected event and then from the server side i join him on the notifications namespace and a specific room, somehome there must me o possibility to send data only to that specific room, and listen to that specific room, something opposite to broadcast, how can i make this ?
ps: be is fully functional, I don't know how to do it from client

[ciprianmacovei]

i think i understand so the be is the source of truth, so when I say send it to room = x on the client when I listen it will send only to the rooms that I joined from the be
