How to make a request from server to a particular user?

[emanuelchristo]

I am using feathers with nuxt.js as a plugin and using the injected client in the vuex store as this.$client

import io from "socket.io-client";
import feathers from "@feathersjs/client";

const socket = io("http://192.168.1.35:3030");
const client = feathers();

client.configure(feathers.socketio(socket));
client.configure(feathers.authentication());

export default ({ app }, inject) => {
  inject("client", client);
};

I want to get the user state when an event happens on the server. How can I make a request from the server to user who is authenticated using @feathersjs/authentication local auth

Not quite sure what you are asking for exactly, but if you make a request to server from client like

client.service('xyz').create({ ... });

In the server, you can grab the user info via params.user

If you are connected via socket, you can make use of channels to send stuff to the client

If those are not what you are asking for, then do clarify what you actually need

Thank you for the response. I think channels is what I was looking for. I'll read up on it
