Using Stompjs as React hook

[livemehere]

I'm struggling with using StompJS.
because I've used SocketIO but I've never used Stomp.
It is little hard to understand Mechanism.

The entry barrier seems high for beginners.
Can you add the simple hook I made to doc?
I wanna contribute to this!

https://www.npmjs.com/package/usestomp-hook

If you accept, I'm going to expand the document to English.

Many thanks for working on this. I do agree that using stompjs is hard. I will be happy to include this in the documentation and samples.

I will suggest the following changes (these should help your use-case as well):

• It seems you have used some external tutorial that uses old syntax. Please see the guide https://stomp-js.github.io/guide/stompjs/upgrading-stompjs.html and upgrade it to the latest version.
• Unless you really need SockJS, please use Websockets. See https://stomp-js.github.io/guide/stompjs/rx-stomp/ng2-stompjs/using-stomp-with-sockjs.html. It will be best to use the newer interface, which requires either brokerURL or webSocketFactory.
• React is a popular framework to create Single Page Applications (which may be your case as well). To cater to this the hook should allow handling reconnects. The recent version of this library supports auto reconnects, it will be useful to support that,

Please let me know which of the above you would be able to work.

Currently, samples are hosted at https://github.com/stomp-js/samples and documentation at https://stomp-js.github.io/

Hey!
I applied it as you said.

• Change to Latest syntax
• Remove SockJS dependency (using the latest syntax, it just happened)
• It was confirmed that the reconnection was automatic.
• and update documentation

Please refer to an excellent tutorial on how to effectively use this library with React: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/build-chat-app-with-stomp-and-react/
