I love the title
Hey i have a question, i am making chat app ,so where should i put my socket.on() method to continuously update the state without calling it explicitly.
I am noob in react, please help, thanks in advance
Hey! Sorry about the late response.
I'm going to assume that you're asking about where to put socket.on() on the client app (which im also assuming is in react).
I'm also going to assume you aren't using hooks since this tutorial did not have hooks (hooks are awesome btw)
If both of these are valid, you can add the "listener" to a components componentDidMount lifecycle method, just like I did above.
You can read more about the method here: reactjs.org/docs/react-component.h...
Hey Talha! I've found your post by looking for tuts on best practices for react+web sockets. Thanks its a nice read! Im looking for ways how to optimize my code since its a bit slow right now, I'm using gatsbyJs on the front end and an express on server side to store some mouse events by visitors of the website, I was wondering if you could help me out by looking if im doing something that slows down the whole process.. the app is deployed here jurg.io/ and here's the code for client: github.com/Nejurgis/portfolio and here's the simple server - github.com/Nejurgis/portfolio-server . Forever grateful!
Thank you! this is exactly what I was looking for
Awesome! 😎
I have learned about ReactJS and Socket recently and written an video call and chat app using ReactJS and Socket .Here is my source code: github.com/lethanhvietctt5/video-c.... I hope it can help you guys to build a video chat app.
Awesome!
i read isnt a chat app and YES!!!
What's the repository? please
I didn't set up a repo but all code is above
Love it!
This is awesome, way more useful than the official chat app tutorial. I feel like I'm ready to go and start using socket.io although will be doing everything with react hooks 👌🏼
Good luck! I recently went through a great hooks course and I can't get enough of them! Hooks are great and I definitely recommend using them in conjunction with socket.io
Thanks, It helped me a lot.
