Hi

Hello

[brave oak]

so it depends on more specifics of what you wish to achieve.
nextjs mostly helps to generate stateless functions for a stateless server architecture:
you would implament real-time features on a client side

Depending on how dynamic and responsive you wish page section or a component to be.

All I pretty much need is to be able to emit some stuff from the Client to the server with socket.io

[brave oak]

Why not a server function?

[whole garnet]

What do you mean?

[brave oak]

Why not

async function postMessage(
  props: PostMessageProps
) {
  "use server";
  
  const sokect = new OurSocket(our_credentials);
  const result = putToDBMessageMethod(props.message);
  if (result.ok)
  {
    socket.emit(props.channel, props.message);
  }
}

async function MessagesList() {
  ....get mesages here
  return (...mesages)
}

function OurPage() {
  return (
    <MessagesComponent
      postMessageMethod={postMessage}
    >
    <Suspense>
      <MessagesList/>
    </Suspense>
    </MessagesComponent>
  );
}

Well I guess I can do it like that, but I also need a way to have the socket running. That's the issue I'm having currently, I don't actually know how to get socket.io/websockets setup to do real time stuff

[brave oak]

"use client";

function OurDynamicItems(... initial items) {
  const data = useChannelMessages(..some channel); // statefull hook

  return (
    <OurDataTranspiler
      data={data}
    />
  );
}

You would need to have a state that can be affected by a socket.

aha the thing is, next and vercel does not directly provide message brockering

You can start learning message brockering with
https://pusher.com/

else you can make web socket service separate

I dont know if revalidateTag would trigger users to receive new updates on a page partials

It's getting a bit complicated for me right now, I think I'll do a bit more research and see what I can do. I appreciate your help

good luck with designs, if you wish please isolate small tests, to learn from experiments. if you learn more about it, feel free to let me know
