Just a quick background about us. Novu is the first open-source notification infrastructure. We basically help to manage all the product notifications. It can be In-App (the bell icon like you have in Facebook - Websockets), Emails, SMSs and so on. I would be super happy if you could give us a star! And let me also know in the comments ❤️ https://github.com/novuhq/novu
Nodemon is a Node.js tool that automatically restarts the server after detecting file changes, and Socket.io allows us to configure a real-time connection on the server.
Socket.io is a popular JavaScript library that allows us to create real-time, bi-directional communication between web browsers and a Node.js server. It is a highly performant and reliable library designed to process a large volume of data with minimal delay. It follows the WebSocket protocol and provides better functionalities, such as fallback to HTTP long-polling or automatic reconnection, which enables us to build efficient real-time applications.
*React Native is an open-source React framework that enables us to create native applications for both IOS and Android with JavaScript code. Basic knowledge of React Native is required to understand this tutorial.*
So far, you've learnt how to set up Socket.io in a React Native and Node.js application, save data with Async Storage, and communicate between a server and the Expo app via Socket.io.
Ensure you have the Expo CLI, Node.js, and Git installed on your computer. Then, create the project folder and an Expo React Native app by running the code below.
Express.js is a fast, minimalist framework that provides several features for building web applications in Node.js. CORS is a Node.js package that allows communication between different domains.
