# 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 use command: `cargo run --bin websocket-tcp-server`
## 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
