Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: socket.on is not a function

[pruhstal]

Running into the following errors both when hitting https://hapi-react-fullstack-bp.herokuapp.com/chat:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: socket.on is not a function

As well as this one:

Uncaught TypeError: socket.emit is not a function

when trying to submit a message in the chat.

I see that you are setting a global variable here:

hapi-react-fullstack-boilerplate/src/client.js

Line 26 in d15fb91

global.socket = connectNes(store, wsUrl)

which you reference in Chat.js:

hapi-react-fullstack-boilerplate/src/containers/Chat/Chat.js

Line 19 in df73f42

if (socket) {

, but is it not getting instantiated properly with:

const wsUrl = `ws${window.location.protocol === 'https:' ? 's' : ''}://${window.location.host}`
global.socket = connectNes(store, wsUrl)

?

I'm changing the original code to use hapines instead of socket.io. I was busy and could not pay attention :) I'll try to fix this too. Thank you very much.

@eseom ah, good to know :) I come from an Express.js background and have briefly looked at Hapi before, so this is all a bit new to me. Looks like hapines plays more nicely with Hapi, so makes sense to go that route. Thanks for the quick explanation.
