Websocket chat example

This is extension of the actix chat example

Added features:

  • Browser WebSocket client
  • Chat server runs in separate thread
  • Tcp listener runs in separate thread

Server

Chat server listens for incoming tcp connections. Server can access several types of message:

  • \list - list all available rooms
  • \join name - join room, if room does not exist, create new one
  • \name name - set session name
  • some message - just string, send message to all peers in same room
  • client has to send heartbeat Ping messages, if server does not receive a heartbeat message for 10 seconds connection gets dropped

To start server use command: cargo run --bin server

Client

Client connects to server. Reads input from stdin and sends to server.

To run client use command: cargo run --bin client
