I made a socket connection in react and pass data as well as socket instance in the context API values. I was able to get data and instances in my child component. Now what I tried is to send a message to the socket from the child component using the socket instance(which I passed through context).

I used send method to pass data to socket but looks like it didn't work. I checked the connection in postman and everything seems working.

const ViewNotification=(props) =>
{
    var notificationData=useContext(NotificationContext);
    const token=localStorage.getItem("provider__token") || 
     sessionStorage.getItem("provider__token");
    var io=notificationData.method;
    const id=queryString.parse(props.location.search).id
        if(io.readyState === 1)
        {
            io.send({token:token,text:id});
            io.onmessage=(data) =>
            {
                console.log(data);

            }
        }
        else
        {
            console.log("Socket closed.....")
        }
