Answer 1

You can use this code, I think it does the work you want but not in the way you mentioned:

1. In client side before calling the route which we use in server side add these codes:

   // Use `io.socket.on()` to listen for the 'hello' event:
   io.socket.on('hello', function (data) {
      console.log('Socket `' + data.id + '` joined the party!');
   });
   

2. In your desired route controller add these codes:

   // Have the socket which made the request join the "funSockets" room.
   sails.sockets.join(req, 'funSockets');
   
   // Broadcast a notification to all the sockets who have joined
   // the "funSockets" room, excluding our newly added socket:
   sails.sockets.broadcast('funSockets', 'hello', { howdy: 'hi there!'}, req);
   

   Note that this "hi there!" message will not be received by the client which just joined. If you want to send a message to all the clients as well as the new joined one, just remove req parameter from broadcast arguments.
