Question about WebSocketGateway class - Emit to channel from external component

Hi,

I have a simple WebSocketGateway:

import { WebSocketGateway, SubscribeMessage } from '@nestjs/websockets';

@WebSocketGateway({ port: 3001, namespace: 'ws' })
export class TestGateway {
  @SubscribeMessage('channel-1')
  onMessage(client, data) {
    client.emit('channel-1', data);
  }
}

I’m trying to send messages (broadcast) to this channel from other parts of the application (others components that can be or not inside the same module).

There is a way to do it without connecting via a socket.io client?

Thanks

Any idea to emit from controller?

Solved it using:

  @WebSocketServer() 
  private server: any;

So I can:

this.server.emit('channel-1', 'Hey!');
