What are some examples of using the Socket.IO client library?

Can you show me some examples of using the Socket.IO client library?

Sure! The Socket.IO client library allows real-time communication between clients and servers. Here are a few examples:

1. Basic Connection:

   const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');
   socket.on('connect', () => {
       console.log('Connected to server');
   });
   

2. Sending Messages:

   socket.emit('message', 'Hello, Server!');
   

3. Receiving Messages:

   socket.on('message', (data) => {
       console.log('Message from server:', data);
   });
   

Would you like to see more advanced examples?

Yes, can you provide an example of broadcasting messages?

Absolutely! Here's how you can broadcast messages to all connected clients:

1. Server-side (Node.js):

   io.on('connection', (socket) => {
       socket.on('broadcast', (message) => {
           socket.broadcast.emit('message', message);
       });
   });
   

2. Client-side:

   socket.emit('broadcast', 'Hello everyone!');
   

This will send the message to all clients except the one that sent it. Do you need help with anything else?

How can I handle disconnections?

You can handle disconnections by listening for the 'disconnect' event. Here's an example:

socket.on('disconnect', () => {
    console.log('Disconnected from server');
});

This will log a message when the client disconnects. Let me know if you have more questions!
