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.
