First of all thanks for this great lib!

I'm trying to use react-native-use-websocket in a RN 0.66.3. I know that you can there use the Websocket but for some reason it was failing all the time and this lib didn't.

The WS that I need to connect to responds with a buffer, it's basically streaming images so they can be used to mimic a video. The challenge I have now is that when I set up a WS and log the onMessage I get back a JSON response, something like this

onMessage =  {"data": [], "isTrusted": false}

But when I use a simple Node script when I use the ws lib and log the result I see the buffer being printed. Is there some reason why this isn't working in the same way? Do I need to configure something else?

Thanks in advance

Hmm, for some reason I can't seem to change the binaryType to blob which might fix my issue. The docs mention how to change that, but that doesn't work.

Might this be the problem?
