socket.io-client typescript error

[gwendalF]

Hello, I am starting a new project with socketio-client. I use the version 4.4.0 but I have troubles with Typescript. When I try to use socket.on('event') I get the following error:
My socket was create by the following:
export const socket = io('http://localhost:5000');

Property 'on' does not exist on type 'Socket<DefaultEventsMap, DefaultEventsMap>'.ts(2339)

How can I do to be able to use the on function on my socket? I tried the Typescript definition but it did not change anything.

Thanks

Hi! That's weird, are you able to reliably reproduce? Could you please check with the example there?

Hello,
It may have been a cache issue. I cannot reproduce the error and the example working fine
Thanks
