Vue Websocket

Overview

Vue-WebSocket is a versatile socket.io plugin designed specifically for Vue.js applications, compatible with both VueJS v1.x and v2.x. It streamlines real-time communication in your apps, making it easier to implement socket functionalities while harnessing the power of Vue’s reactivity. With its straightforward installation and usage, developers can efficiently integrate WebSocket capabilities into their projects, creating rich, interactive user experiences.
