# Websocket chat example

This is extension of the [actix chat example](https://github.com/actix/examples/tree/HEAD/websockets/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 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.

## Client

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

To run client use command: `cargo run --bin websocket-tcp-client`

## WebSocket Browser Client
