Clear chat input box only for sender in socket.io

Question

Hi I am making a online chatting app for all the person but when I send the message the chat input box is clear to everyone and I want to clear the chat input box only from sender I use this code in client.js to clear the chat input box but it clear from all the user browser

chatInputBox.innerHTML = "";

if anyone writing a message in chat box and another one send the message the chat input box is clear to everyone

is there is any solution of socket.io to solve this problem

Answer 1

That means that text is sent to everyone even to sender himself, the way foward is on you're node.js server use socket.broadcast to send a message so you dont need even to clear the inbox since sender wont even receive his own message

the code is socket.broadcast.emit("event_name", "message data - could be object");
