react-websocket is a easy-to-use React component for websocket communications.

Help Wanted

Things here are running very slowly as I have a lot of other stuff to take care at the moment so please don't be upset if I don't answer your question or if a PR sits unreviewed for a few days or weeks. Anyone interested in helping it move faster can help by submitting or reviewing PR's and answering each other's questions.

Installing

npm install --save react-websocket

        count: 90
      };
    }

    handleData(data) {
      let result = JSON.parse(data);
      this.setState({count: this.state.count + result.movement});
    }
