Lightweight infrastructure broadcast for use with Socket.io RedisStore.

Install

npm install socket.io-announce

Use anywhere in your stack, independent of other socket.io servers.

var announce = require('socket.io-announce').createClient()
announce.emit('status', { msg:'Going down for maintenance in 15 minutes', countdown: 15*60*1000 })

Emit to all users.

announce.send('Hello, world!')
announce.emit('quote', { symbol:'APPL', price: 5000 })

Target socket.io rooms.

announce.in('boardroom').send('Yoyo yo!')
announce.in('nodeup').emit('tweet', {
  id: '130749992326533122',
  user:'@dshaw',
  text: 'Keeping things small and tightly focused actually makes solving big problems easier.'
})

Target socket.io namespaces (with rooms too).

var announce = require('socket.io-announce')({ namespace: '/podcast' })
announce.in('nodeup').emit('episode', {
  url: 'http://www.nodeup.com/twentyfour',
  name: 'NodeUp twentyfour - a secure show'
})
