is there a modern react listener for database changes

Question

Is there a modern React listener library for database changes? We need to implement some kind of real time communication with DB and be able to propagate DB changes to our clients. I heard about SignalR (just for ASP.NET?) but it seems Websockects could be the tech to go.

If you're willing to adapt your persistence layer, you can achieve automatic DB->Web synchronization with Firebase Realtime Database:

It's not React-specific, but the technologies work fine together (used them together myself). The Javascript-client uses Websockets behind the scenes.
