I have implemented a chat feature in my application, but the issue I am facing is the screen does not refresh automatically if the user gets a message.

I looked for several options on the internet, but all I could find is paid services or using firebase.

Is there any free option to implement it without using firebase?

I want to refresh my chat screen instantly the message is received from the other side.

  • I'm not familiar with Firebase and React but you can achieve it through a Websocket. It provides a persistent connection between a client and server. Check out Pusher.com and then you can browse some tutorials on how to implement it with your app. Hope this helps. https://pusher.com/ – Renzchler Oct 11 '19 at 07:31
  • pusher.com is a paid service I guess? –  Oct 11 '19 at 11:10
  • firebase is your best free option – Ilario Oct 11 '19 at 19:09
  • But the problem is I have integrated my whole authentication flow with services and now shifting to firebase would be a big deal –  Oct 12 '19 at 04:54
