# Websocket chat example
This is extension of the
[actix chat example](https://github.com/actix/actix/tree/master/examples/chat)
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 messsage 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 droppped
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`
