has anyone found a workaround for using SocketIO?

[builder7777]

The documentation gives an example of using socketio, but using it throws an error:

import { Server, SocketIO } from 'mock-socket';

Module '"mock-socket"' has no exported member 'SocketIO'.

I realize this repo seems to have been abandoned, but does anyone have a usable workaround?

the type defs are out of date, stick this in your code:

declare module 'mock-socket' {
  type SocketIO = any
}

you can do better than just using any, if you want.

I got that error now
'SocketIO' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.

class SocketIO {
    constructor(uri: string, opts?: any);
    close: () => void;
    disconnect: () => void;
    emit: (event: string) => SocketIO;
    send: (data: any) => SocketIO;
    on: (type: string, callback: (data: any) => void) => SocketIO;
    off: (type: string, callback: (data: any) => void) => SocketIO;
    hasListeners: (type: string) => boolean;
  }
