Trying to make a function to send data from a specific client to a specific client

[stone stonix]

HI all,

I am working on a pair programming project, in which there is a requirement such that , when a user clicks the read only mark it makes the editor in read only mode and send a flag to the other user to make his/her editor set to editing mode(Only 2 persons interact on a single code).

I have digged through everything but could not really reach to a final conclusion.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Why not just let both users edit at once?

Two options, I think:

1. Use shout https://github.com/josephg/ShareJS/blob/master/examples/shout.html to broadcast such events

2. Open a separate communication channel for such events. It's simple to launch another server within the same node binary.

Obviously the server won't deny update actions of people who ignore the shout signal, but I think that's not crucial to get you further now.

It is a university requirement xD... thanks for stopping by.

@Stephan Seidt

what I understood is, 

I can make my own events at server side and then make the client respond accordingly ? or the shout is a built in event that identifies messages used inside from ones that are broadcasted?

Thanks all for stopping by

When you shout from the client all other clients connected to that doc get the shout event with the data you shouted.

So just shout "over" walkie-talkie style and the other side can start editing.

Wout.
