How to connect to a different domain

[Arshia76]

Hi, I want to connect to a different domain other than the one on my localhost because backend will be deployed in other platform,
but it seems that it only connects to the local platform (the one front runs on).
I,ve seen that there is createConnection function to change it's urlConfig but not quite sure how to do,
can you please tell if it is possible and if yes how?
Thanks in advance

Hi!

It should be possible like so:

  const { socket } = useSocket("https://some.domain.com", {
      // other options
  });
  const { lastMessage } = useSocketEvent<string>(socket, "message", {
    onMessage: (message) => console.log(message),
  });

Hi, thanks just a side note does the code above take the port number into account.
Because in development back and front both running in localhost but different ports
const {socket} = useSocket("http://localhost:5000,{//options})
i mean does this code works as expected?
cause i tried it and it was always sending request to localhost:3000 (front part)
is there anywhere to set port specifically?
or is it ok to put it only like above without specific options (like the port in options)

This is a weird one. I tried passing the host and port options to the socketIo constructor, like so: io({host: "some.domain.com", port: 1234}), but it still tries to connect to localhost. I'm not sure this is something I can fix in my library, but I will have another look later. Your example, passing the port in the first string parameter, works.
