could you please fix these issues in my scripts , so my useChatStore , is using for admin and user
entity , the issues is when i try to use the state of useAuthStore in my useChatStore for admin side it
work well , but for user side all state isn't update and remains the same value declared by default ,
thus i have use a certain logic to solve this issue but i watch certains incovenients for admin side ,
because when a new message is available , the same message is duplicate because i have added
this logic to solve user issues in the useChatStore , my purpose is to solve these issues please

I see the issue with your `useChatStore` state not updating properly for the user side, and the message
duplication issue on the admin side. Here's how I plan to fix it:

Identified Issues

1. User State Not Updating Properly

Your `useChatStore` depends on `useAuthStore`, but it seems like it's not reacting to state
changes correctly for users.
Calling `useAuthStore.getState().checkAuth()` within `getMessages()` and
`subscribeToMessages()` might not always update the user session correctly.
2. Message Duplication on Admin Side
The logic in `subscribeToMessages()` lacks proper checks to prevent duplicate messages.
The `checker` condition seems incorrect, preventing subscription in some cases.

Proposed Fixes

1. Ensure Proper State Updates in `useChatStore`

Instead of manually calling `checkAuth()`, rely on `useAuthStore`'s reactive state to trigger
updates.
Use `useEffect` (or similar hooks inside components) to watch for changes.
2. Fix Message Duplication
Modify `subscribeToMessages()` to check if a message already exists in `messages` before
adding a new one.
Ensure `socket.on("newMessage")` does not trigger multiple times by properly cleaning up
previous subscriptions.

Fixed Code for `useChatStore.js`

I'll apply these fixes and update your `useChatStore.js` file.

 Fixed Use Chat Store

Changes & Fixes

1. Avoiding State Dependency Issues

Removed unnecessary calls to `useAuthStore.getState().checkAuth()`.
Now relies directly on `sessionId` and `socket` state from `useAuthStore`.
2. Fixed Message Duplication
Used `socket.off("newMessage")` before adding a new listener to avoid multiple triggers.
Checked if the `newMessage` already exists in `messages` before adding it.
3. Improved Subscription Logic
Ensured `socket.on("newMessage")` does not run when `sessionId` is missing.
Cleaned up socket events properly.

Try this updated `useChatStore.js` and let me know if you need further refinements! 🚀

please could you , show me how can i create a real time notification system with socket.io like a pro
using react js and express js ?

Creating a real-time notification system using Socket.IO with React.js (frontend) and Express.js
(backend) involves several steps:

📌 Steps Overview
1. Set up the Express.js backend with Socket.IO
2. Manage notifications in the backend (emit events)
3. Create the React.js frontend (listen for events & display notifications)
4. Ensure real-time updates with state management (Zustand, Redux, or Context API)
5. Handle disconnections & optimizations

🖥️ Backend (Express.js)
1️⃣ Install Dependencies
Run the following command:

bash

npm install express socket.io cors

2️⃣ Create `server.js`

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 2/7
 javascript

const express = require("express");

const http = require("http");
const { Server } = require("socket.io");
const cors = require("cors");

const app = express();

const server = http.createServer(app);

const io = new Server(server, {

cors: {
origin: "http://localhost:5173", // Change to your frontend URL
methods: ["GET", "POST"]
}
});

app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());

let onlineUsers = new Map(); // Store online users

io.on("connection", (socket) => {

console.log(`User Connected: ${socket.id}`);

// Store user when they join

socket.on("user_connected", (userId) => {
onlineUsers.set(userId, socket.id);
});

// Send notification to a specific user

socket.on("send_notification", ({ sender, receiver, message }) => {
const receiverSocket = onlineUsers.get(receiver);
if (receiverSocket) {
io.to(receiverSocket).emit("receive_notification", { sender, message });
}
});

// Handle disconnection
socket.on("disconnect", () => {
onlineUsers.forEach((value, key) => {
if (value === socket.id) onlineUsers.delete(key);
});
console.log(`User Disconnected: ${socket.id}`);
});
});

server.listen(3001, () => {
console.log("Server running on port 3001");
});

💻 Frontend (React.js)
1️⃣ Install Dependencies
bash

npm install socket.io-client zustand react-toastify

2️⃣ Create `useNotificationStore.js`

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/7
This will manage notifications using Zustand.

javascript

import { create } from "zustand";

import { io } from "socket.io-client";

const socket = io("http://localhost:3001"); // Connect to backend

export const useNotificationStore = create((set, get) => ({

notifications: [],

connectUser: (userId) => {

socket.emit("user_connected", userId);
},

sendNotification: (sender, receiver, message) => {

socket.emit("send_notification", { sender, receiver, message });
},

listenForNotifications: () => {
socket.on("receive_notification", (data) => {
set((state) => ({
notifications: [...state.notifications, data],
}));
});
},

disconnect: () => {
socket.disconnect();
},
}));

3️⃣ Create `NotificationComponent.js`

This component will display notifications in real-time.

javascript

import React, { useEffect } from "react";

import { useNotificationStore } from "./useNotificationStore";
import { toast } from "react-toastify";
import "react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.css";

toast.configure();

const NotificationComponent = () => {

const { notifications, listenForNotifications } = useNotificationStore();

useEffect(() => {
listenForNotifications();
}, []);

useEffect(() => {
if (notifications.length > 0) {
const latestNotification = notifications[notifications.length - 1];
toast.info(`${latestNotification.sender} sent: ${latestNotification.message}`);
}
}, [notifications]);

return (
<div>
<h3>Live Notifications</h3>
<ul>
{notifications.map((note, index) => (
<li key={index}>{note.sender}: {note.message}</li>

 ))}
</ul>
</div>
);
};

export default NotificationComponent;

4️⃣ Integrate into `App.js`

javascript

import React from "react";

import { useNotificationStore } from "./useNotificationStore";
import NotificationComponent from "./NotificationComponent";

const App = () => {

const { connectUser, sendNotification } = useNotificationStore();

React.useEffect(() => {
connectUser("user123"); // Simulate a logged-in user
}, []);

return (
<div>
<h1>Real-Time Notification System</h1>
<button onClick={() => sendNotification("user123", "user456", "Hello!")}>
Send Notification
</button>
<NotificationComponent />
</div>
);
};

export default App;

✨ Features & Enhancements

✅ Real-time notifications with Socket.IO
✅ Efficient user connection tracking
✅ Zustand for state management
✅ React Toastify for elegant notifications
✅ Handles user disconnections properly
Would you like to add database storage for notifications or support push notifications? 🚀

so i would want that when user view notification , the count become at 0 , and when user is the chat
session ,not notification is increase in the count system please add this feature

✅ Notification count resets to 0 when the user views notifications

✅ No notifications increment if the user is inside the chat session
✅ New state variables:
`notificationCount` → Tracks unread notifications
`isChatOpen` → Indicates if the user is currently in a chat session
✅ New functions:
`markNotificationsAsRead()` → Resets the notification count
`toggleChatSession(isOpen)` → Opens/closes chat and resets notifications when chat is open

Your notification system is now more intelligent & user-friendly! 🚀 Let me know if you need further
refinements.
