Enhancement: Implement WebSocket for Real-Time Updates

Opened this issue · 1 comments

  • Description: Replace the current polling mechanism with WebSocket connections to provide real-time updates, reducing unnecessary API calls and improving overall application efficiency.

  • Solution:

    1. Set up a WebSocket server using a library like Socket.IO on the backend.
    2. Modify the frontend to establish and maintain a WebSocket connection.
    3. Update the server to emit events when data changes.
    4. Implement listeners on the client-side to handle these events and update the UI accordingly.
  • Benefits:

    • Reduced server load by eliminating frequent polling.
    • Improved real-time user experience with instant updates.
    • Decreased network traffic and lower latency.
    • Better scalability for handling a large number of concurrent users.
  • Note: This change will require modifications to both the backend and frontend. Ensure proper error handling and reconnection logic for a robust implementation. Also, consider implementing a fallback mechanism to polling for browsers that don't support WebSockets.
