manoexperta was redesigned for better performance and reliability. The new version does not use SocketIO web sockets anymore, and now leverages the power of Firebase-Firestore for direct notifications that control the flow of the app.
The client and worker app must "connect" to their respective channels as described below under Client Integration and listen for messages that are relayed to them on real-time. Messages are sent either to channel or direct to specific users to trigger actions on the app, they are core for the app so that users are not forced to refresh to get updates on requests.
Client Integration - "connect to server"
Documentation Pending...
Server Messages - "options and actions"
This is the global class for all messages that are received, not all information is required for all message types but this standardisation should help you better manage them.
