How to use in frontend

Include the socket library from Admin or Web adapter:

<script src="../lib/js/socket.io.js"></script>

Instantiate the connection:

const adminConnection = new AdminConnection({
    protocol: 'ws',
    host: '192.168.1.2',
    port: 8081,
    admin5only: false,
    autoSubscribes: [],
    // optional: other options
});

await adminConnection.startSocket();
await adminConnection.waitForFirstConnection();
// and use it
console.log(await adminConnection.getHosts());
