'add user' emit?

I don't see in the example how 'add user' is invoked? I was expecting a line of code to state: this.broadcast.emit('add user'...

Nvm found it, socket.emit('add user', username); on the client .js file. I'm guessing server side can't invoke the routes, only via the socket from client side?

Yeah, because it's the client sending a message to the server. The message is sent once the user picks a username.
