open a websocket in javascript

To open a WebSocket connection in JavaScript, you can use the WebSocket API available in modern web browsers.

Here's an example code snippet:

index.tsx
// Create a new WebSocket instance
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://example.com/socket-path');

// Event listener for when the connection is opened
socket.addEventListener('open', function (event) {
  console.log('WebSocket connection opened');
});

// Event listener for when a message is received from the server
socket.addEventListener('message', function (event) {
  console.log('Message from server:', event.data);
});

// Event listener for when the connection is closed
socket.addEventListener('close', function (event) {
  console.log('WebSocket connection closed');
});

// Event listener for when an error occurs
socket.addEventListener('error', function (event) {
  console.error('WebSocket error:', event);
});

The WebSocket constructor takes one argument, which is the URL of the WebSocket server. Once the connection is established, you can listen for messages using the message event, and send messages using the send method of the WebSocket instance.
