socket chat application room issue

[uyarhamit]

I am creating a chatapp with node.js express and react. The application working and sending message all users but when i try send message to specific room, it's not working.

Code in below

socket.on('login', (data) => {
    socket.join("room1");
})

socket.on('sendMessage', (data) => {

    socket.emit('messageResponse', data); // **this is working**

    socket.to("room1").emit('messageResponse', data); // **this is not working**
})

Hi! That's weird, this should totally work.

Please note that socket.to().emit() is not send to the given socket:

// to all clients in "room1" except the socket
socket.to("room1").emit('messageResponse', data);

// to all clients in "room1"
io.to("room1").emit('messageResponse', data);

Hi. Thank you for your answer but i just fixed the bug. The problem is about frontend socket.io-client. I was sending socket as a prop to other components. That was a mistake. When i create socket file and import in the pages, my app works.
