Stub TypeScript definitions entry for socket.io-client, which provides its own types definitions
Package description
@types/socket.io-client provides TypeScript type definitions for the socket.io-client library, which is used for real-time, bidirectional communication between web clients and servers.
Connecting to a Socket.IO server
This feature allows you to establish a connection to a Socket.IO server. The code sample demonstrates how to connect to a server running on localhost at port 3000.
const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');Listening for events
This feature allows you to listen for events emitted by the server. The code sample shows how to listen for a 'message' event and log the received data to the console.
socket.on('message', (data) => { console.log(data); });Emitting events
This feature allows you to emit events to the server. The code sample demonstrates how to emit a 'message' event with the data 'Hello, server!'.
socket.emit('message', 'Hello, server!');Handling connection errors
This feature allows you to handle connection errors. The code sample shows how to listen for 'connect_error' events and log the error to the console.
socket.on('connect_error', (err) => { console.error('Connection Error:', err); });@types/ws provides TypeScript type definitions for the ws library, which is a simple to use, blazing fast, and thoroughly tested WebSocket client and server for Node.js. It is more low-level compared to socket.io-client and does not provide built-in support for features like automatic reconnection or broadcasting.
@types/sockjs-client provides TypeScript type definitions for the sockjs-client library, which is a JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object for browsers. It aims to provide a consistent, cross-browser, low-latency, full-duplex, cross-domain communication channel that works in all browsers. It is similar to socket.io-client but focuses more on providing a consistent API across different browsers.
@types/primus provides TypeScript type definitions for the Primus library, which is a flexible and extensible framework for real-time applications. Primus supports multiple real-time frameworks (including Socket.IO, Engine.IO, and SockJS) and allows you to switch between them without changing your application code. It offers more flexibility compared to socket.io-client but may require more configuration.
