var client = new Client;

// Where `socket` is socket.io socket object.
client.setSocket(socket);

client.request("myMethod", "Hello", function(err, response) {
    console.log(err, response);
});

On "server" side:

var Server = require("socket.io-reqres").Server;

var server = new Server;
server.use("myMethod", function(data, send) {
    send(data + " world");
});

// Where `socket` is socket.io socket object.
server.setSocket(socket);
