web-socket-react-native

POC project using WebSocket server based on deno and the client based on React Native

Running WebSocket on Deno

First of all, follow the instal instructions at Deno Land.

After you have installed it, you need to start the WebSocket and you can do that by running the following:

# If everthing went sucessfuly, you must see the message:
# "WebSocket server is running on :8008"
# it means the server is running on "ws://localhost:8080"
deno --allow-net ./web-socket-server/index.ts

Running WebSocket client with React Native

Prerequirements

In order to run this, you must have the React Native installed and configured and yarn (or npm installed).

Installing

Before installing the app, you need to have a device or emulator connected to your machine and run:

# To install all the dependencies
yarn # Or "npm install"
# To install the app on the device or emulator
yarn android # or "npm run android" or even "yarn ios" ("npm ios") for iOS
# Now wee need to redirect all calls from device "localhost:8080" to our machine "localhost:8080"
adb reverse tcp:8080 tcp:8080

If the WebSocket client didn't connect, try to reload your app by shaking your phone and pressing "Reload" or:

# Only valid for Android devices/emulators
adb shell input text "RR"

It will look like this:
