Socket.io Ionic

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
4

I’ve installed Socket.io client and typings:

npm install socket.io-client --save
typings install dt~socket.io-client --save --global

ambient is deprecated in favor of globals.

@Jose_Ionic Using the client in Ionic 2 is simple as:

import * as io from "socket.io-client";
...

export class YourClass {
  socket: SocketIOClient.Socket;

  ...

  connect() {
    this.socket = io(SOCKET_URL);
    this.socket.on('connect', () => {
      ...
    });
  }
}

Have fun!
