How do I integrate socket.io client side with reactjs?
In my reactjs, ComponentDidMount() it subscribes to the 'chat' messages and when the socket receives new messages, they are pushed to component state. When the user enters a message and submits the form, the message is sent as JSON to the backend

This is my socket.io backend
var app = require('express')();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-
With, Content-Type, Accept");
next();
});
server.listen(3000)
io.on('connection', function(socket) {
console.log('user connected');
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('user disonnected');
})
socket.on('chat', function(data) {
io.emit('chat',data);
})
})
Here is my react component :
state = {
currentRoom: {
messages: ,
message: ""
}
};
componentDidMount() {
socket.on('chat', message => {
message.key = JSON.stringify(message);
this.setState((prevState) => {
let messages=prevState.currentRoom.messages;
messages.push(message) {
messages:messages
}
})
})
}
