// Executes when the connection is successfully established.
socket.addEventListener('open', event => {
  console.log('WebSocket connection established!');
  // Sends a message to the WebSocket server.
  socket.send('Hello Server!');
});

// Listen for messages and executes when a message is received from the server.

});

// Executes when the connection is closed, providing the close code and reason.

});

// Executes if an error occurs during the WebSocket communication.
socket.addEventListener('error', error => {

});
