How to implement message notification in React App?












0















I am now building an application using React and Redux as the frontend and Django as the backend. What i am trying to realize is whenever an end user upload a file, all the end users that are related to this file should receive a notification.



I am thinking of using websocket/socket.io but I am not sure if that works well with Django. Or any experience or suggestions of using any other technologies to implement the message notification function?

A simple Google search revealed Django Channels

Using the field_field.files[0].file.slice() method in javascript you can send a file in chunks over a websocket. Using field_field.files[0].size you can get the total size and divide the total of what you've sent and the size of the file to build a progress bar. Make sure you wrap your file writes in the @sync_to_async decorator as doing it without that would block the event loop. That method is part of Channels and found in Asgiref.



Channels Redis can be used to notify any or all of the users that an event has occurred, such as a file being uploaded.
