Here is my code:

`export class ChatService {  
protected sendBird: SendbirdOpenChat;  
private APP\_ID = \<APP\_ID\>;

constructor() {  
this.sendBird = SendbirdChat.init({  
appId: this.APP\_ID,  
modules: [new OpenChannelModule()],  
}) as SendbirdOpenChat;  
}`

public getSendBirdInstance(): SendbirdOpenChat {  
return this.sendBird;  
}

public async connectUsertoSB(userId: string): Promise {  
return await this.sendBird.connect(userId);  
}  
}`

async handleConnection(client: any, …args: any): Promise {  
console.log(`Client connected: ${client.id} HERE START`);  
const sb: SendbirdOpenChat = this.chatService.getSendBirdInstance();  
console.log(‘allgood’);  
const result: User = await sb.connect(‘333’); \<----- HERE IS STOCK  
}

Stock in line which i highlight then just nothing happening; If you got some issue please tell me how you fixed it, thanks!)

The issue was that I was trying to use the SDK in Node.js, instead of the browser. So I just used the Platform API’s instead.
