Greetings everyone,
i have a question regarding Kotlin-React and websockets.
In plain React it is (according to my research) common to instantiate a single WebSocket instance at the root of your application and then pass it down via props.
But is there an alternative (Edit: idiomatic) way to share this single instance in Kotlin React? Like using a top level declaration or an object handling that connection?

Thank you for your answers in advance!

A top-level declaration sounds like a bad fit for React in general. I would always have something instantiated in a top-level component, where it can be bound to the mount/unmount lifecycle. Passing it (or some API wrapping it) down through the componentry makes testing a lot saner too.

Ok, thanks for the advice. 👍
