⚡ Day 33 — Real-Time Features with WebSocket / Socket.io

⚡ Day 33 — Real-Time Features with WebSocket / Socket.io

Real-time communication enables live updates without refreshing the page — ideal for chat apps, dashboards, or notifications.

🔹 Understanding WebSockets

WebSockets establish a persistent two-way connection between the browser and the server, unlike traditional HTTP requests.

💬 Example Using Socket.io

import io from "socket.io-client";
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";

const socket = io("http://localhost:4000");

function ChatApp() {
  const [message, setMessage] = useState("");
  const [chat, setChat] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    socket.on("chat message", (msg) => {
      setChat((prev) => [...prev, msg]);
    });
  }, []);

  const sendMessage = () => {
    socket.emit("chat message", message);
    setMessage("");
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <ul>{chat.map((m, i) => <li key={i}>{m}</li>)}</ul>
      <input value={message} onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)} />
      <button onClick={sendMessage}>Send</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default ChatApp;
  

Socket.io makes it simple to handle events, broadcasting, and auto-reconnection, making real-time app development much easier.
