React Native with Socket.io

-

I'm trying to use socket.io client from react native. I found several answers in stack overflow including this one: Is it possible to combine React Native with socket.io which suggests using socket-io client and setting the navigator.userAgent to react-native. I tried it and it doesn't work on my android, I also found a video about this in youtube but the guy got it to work on an emulator, for me once I used remote debugging it worked as well because it was on the browser I guess.

And I found a project on https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-socketio but it is still a work in progress. Can someone who had to deal with this issue and managed to find a solution give out some pointers? In the end I resorted to using react native websockets on the client side and the npm ws library on the server side which works just fine but I don't have any of the fallbacks.

I don't know if you solved your problem, but for anyone facing the same issue: you don't need navigator.userAgent anymore to use socket.io with React Native. Here is a little example of how you can do it now: 

import io from 'socket.io-client'

const socket = io('http://123.456.78.987:3200', {
  transports: ['websocket'],
})

socket.emit('dispatch', "Real time baby 🎉")

Meaning of `{}` for return expression

-
15 1 I found by accident that the following compiles: #include <string> #include <iostream> class A{ int i{}; std::string s{}; public: A(int _i, const std::string& _s) : i(_i), s(_s) { puts("Called A(int, const std::string)"); } }; A foo(int k, const char* cstr){ return {k, cstr}; // (*) } int main(){ auto a = foo(10, "Hi!"); return 0; } The line of interest is (*). I guess the function foo is equivalent to: A foo(int k, const char* str){ return A(k, cstr); } However, is there a special name for this mechanism in (*)? Or is it just the simple fact that the compiler knows which constructor to call due to the return type? ...

Get current scroll position of ScrollView in React Native

-
Is it possible to get the current scroll position, or the current page of a <ScrollView> component in React Native? So something like: <ScrollView horizontal={true} pagingEnabled={true} onScrollAnimationEnd={() => { // get this scrollview's current page or x/y scroll position }}> this.state.data.map(function(e, i) { <ImageCt key={i}></ImageCt> }) </ScrollView> Try. <ScrollView onScroll={this.handleScroll} /> And then: handleScroll: function(event: Object) { console.log(event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y); }, Disclaimer: what follows is primarily the result of my own experimentation in React Native 0.50. The ScrollView documentation is currently missing a lot of the information covered below; for instance onScrollEndDrag is completely undocumented. Since everything here relies upon undocumented behaviour, I can unfortunately make no promises that this information will remain correct a ...
