Guys, did anyone found where did the socket room creation logic is written inside the project. I found that mainly two socket rooms are being used in the sails backend(more precisely in the helpers). ex. board:boardId and user:userId. I just wanted to understand that let's say I want to create an another room and send some data to that particular room ex. project:projectId. How should I approach that.

PS: I am new to the working with the sockets but have basic understanding.

Hi! You just need to call sails.sockets.join somewhere in a controller (only works for socket connections). You can find an example here - server/api/controllers/boards/create.js. If you want to join all project rooms then you need to call sails.sockets.join for each project in the server/api/controllers/projects/index.js.
