Can React Native connect to TCP MQTT?

[gsnoopy]

React Native doesn’t have native support for raw TCP MQTT connections. I found a few libraries, but they’re not very popular, which can be a bit concerning. In my app, to work around this, I used the mqtt npm package but connected through a WebSocket server I built with Node.js. That way, I can stream real-time PLC data into my React Native app. Depending on the broker you’re using (e.g., Mosquitto), WebSocket (ws:// or wss://) support might already be available, so you can connect directly without needing a custom server.
