Save Data on Socket in Socket.IO

Question

I want to save some data on the socket, server side, so whenever the client emits any data to the server, I want that data to be available!

One use case can be storing a token on the socket. When the client is connecting for the first time, it will emit the token, if it has one, or it will show the login page and then the login data will be sent to the server. Whichever one it is, I want to store the token on the server, so that every request after that doesn't need to specify the token.

Later, I'll use RedisStore, so all the data will be accessible all the servers running the app.

My only question is, where do I store the data on the socket so it's associated with that client?

use socket.set and socket.get to set and get data asynchronously
