How to create chat app in React Native using Expo or RN CLI?

Who had experience in developing a chat application with a webcam, what libraries did you use?

Node.js + Socket.io + WebRTC

The react native part is misleading in the post as the service is a backend thingy.

Different clients can connect to that single service using websockets and the implementation details will differ from client to client.
You can find a good amount of tutorials on how to create this kind of service (or product), then extrapolate any client the tutorial uses (just to show the results) into your react native client.

Hope it helps! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ˜

I'm afraid that in the future I will have to eject Expo in order to implement chat functionality. Working on React native CLI brings huge pains. Thank you for your reply, it really helped me 😊
