## 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 run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
cd websockets/chat-tcp
|
|
|
|
|
cargo run --bin websocket-tcp-server`
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the current directory is not correct, the server will look for `index.html` in the wrong place.

|
|
