From the documentation, you can use the join and leave methods, so there's no combined function for this, but you can make one yourself:

const moveRoom = (socket, from, to) => {
  socket.leave(from);
  socket.join(to);
}

Usage:

moveRoom(socket, 'oldRoom', 'newRoom');

Get all rooms the client is in:

let rooms = Object.keys(socket.rooms);
