Feature Request - Receive and emit messages from the UI
Hi
Currently the admin-ui let us gather useful information about connected sockets, rooms for a targeted server…
What do you envision as the next steps?
I think this would be very useful if it we could display all messages received in a room and also offer the possibility to emit messages to it. This way it would allow to gather even more clues about what's happening during a debug session and test various behaviors.
Thanks a lot for this tool
Thanks a lot for the feedback :heart:

That's a great idea! I don't think we currently have the ability to track it at the room level though.
Here's a few additional features that I had in mind:
- an histogram of all events sent/received by the server in the last X minutes
- an histogram of all connections/disconnections/connection errors
- the ability to emit a message a given socket/room
- a production mode, which tracks a little less details (in order to solve https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-admin-ui/issues/22)
Update: the receive part is now implemented: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-admin-ui/commit/8542601b55022f6ca00b677b7d7c7664a326526f
@darrachequesne how about this task, especially:
- the ability to emit a message a given socket/room
is it possible that it will be introduced in upcoming months? or you won't work on this project anymore?
Yep, it's on my to-do list!
No specific ETA, but if there is enough demand for this feature it could be prioritized.
