i create simple socket.io server and react native project and tested, but socket.io on React Native doesn't work at all. i printed "socket.io-client" on console and it's loaded well, and i made simple HTML file with using socket.io, it works, but only React Native doesn't work. i'm using React native 0.26.2, and socket.io 1.4.6.
this is my server code:
"strict mode";
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const http = require('http').Server(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(http);
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('user connected');
});
http.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('server started on 3000');
});
// web testing
app.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
and this is rn code:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, StyleSheet, Text, TextInput, TouchableHighlight, View } from 'react-native';
import "./userAgent"; //window.navigator.userAgent = "react-native";
const io = require('socket.io-client/socket.io');
class SocketChat extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.socket = io('localhost:3000', { jsonp: false });
this.state = {
text: null
};
}
...
}
as i heard, using React native with socket.io causes ajax long polling instead of websocket, so i added 'user-agent' trick. whether it is working or not, even connection isn't established, but if i try with browser, it works well. it will be very appreciate me that tell me what should i do.
