How do we use socket.io library with ecmascript module syntax? I'm getting following error if I'm importing it like this:

import socketIO from "socket.io";

Error:

SyntaxError: The requested module 'socket.io' does not provide an export named 'default'

Try:

import {Socket} from ‘socket.io’

The socket.io package exports a server module as well so a default export won’t work here.

You can also do:

import * as SocketIO from ‘socket.io’

Then you will need to do socketIO.Socket
