#1.4 WebSocket Messages: feat: send message from the frontend to the backend error

[salybu]

unexpected log

The frontend should send a message to the backend 10s after the app runs on this commit. and then the message from the frontend should be printed on the server (terminal) console. but on the terminal, unexpected log like below are shown and cannot read a message from frontend.

<Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 66 72 6f 6d 20 74 68 65 20 62 72 6f 77 73 65 72 21>

solutions

• just change the code from message to message.toString("utf-8"). previous code doesn't work because of new 'ws' version

/* server.js */
  socket.on("message", (message) => {
    // [X] console.log(message);
    console.log(message.toString("utf-8"));
  });
