I am trying to implement multiplayer scrabble and to handle socket (client side). I implemented a module but II dont know how to resolve this issue :

import * as io from 'socket.io-client';

export module SocketHandler {

  let activeSocket: SocketIOClient.Socket;

  export function requestSocket(server: string): any {

    if (activeSocket === undefined) {
        activeSocket = io.connect(server);
    }
    return activeSocket;
  }

  export function disconnectSocket(): void {
    activeSocket.disconnect();
    activeSocket = undefined;
  }

}

Error: export 'connect' (imported as 'io') was not found in 'socket.io-client' (possible exports: Manager, Socket, default, io) error TS2503: Cannot find namespace 'SocketIOClient'.

Can you please help me?

You need to use the prefix io before everything because you imported it with this name. Use directly io to connect.

activeSocket: io.Socket;

requestSocket(server: string): any {
  if (this.activeSocket === undefined) {
      this.activeSocket = io.io(server);
  }
  return this.activeSocket;
}

disconnectSocket(): void {
  this.activeSocket.disconnect();
  this.activeSocket = undefined;
}

import * as socketIO from 'socket.io'
