I am trying to create a voice chat application in React.js. My problem is about sending parameters when users try to join room.

In client side, I run this code to connect server with access token

let accessToken = localStorage.getItem("accessToken")
    socket.current = io.connect(process.env.REACT_APP_SOCKET_URL+"/room",{query: { token:accessToken}})
    

But at first attempt to join room, token is sending as null to server but accessToken variable is not null when I print it to console. Whenever user refreshes the page and tries to join the room again, the token is sending successfully.

Do you have any idea why I am not able to send this variable at first attempt ?
