Is there anyone who handles this issue?

[BorntraegerMarc]

No. Never had the time to do it :(

There is an open PR that includes some change requests and did some updates. But it never got merged.

DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#16619

@types/socket.io-client was last updated 4 years ago on version 1.4.32 but latest is 2.3.0 :(

@darrachequesne Could you please update the typings? You are probably the most familiar with all existing functions and types.

For future readers:

As of Socket.IO v3, the typings are now included in the socket.io-client package.

The types from@types/socket.io-client are not needed anymore and may in fact cause errors like:

Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'extraHeaders' does not exist in type 'ConnectOpts'
