WebSocket Server Example in Rust

This repository contains an example of a WebSocket server implementation using Rust. The server accepts incoming WebSocket connections, receives messages from clients, and broadcasts the messages to all connected clients.

Features

• Asynchronous WebSocket server using async_std and async_tungstenite
• Accepts incoming WebSocket connections
• Receives messages from clients
• Broadcasts messages to all connected clients
• Demonstrates usage of async channels and shared state

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust: To install Rust, follow the instructions on the official Rust website.

Running the server

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/websocket_server_example.git cd websocket_server_example

2. Build the project:

cargo build

3. Run the server:

cargo run

The server will start listening on 127.0.0.1:8080.

Testing the server

You can use a WebSocket client, such as websocat, to test the server. Install websocat and run the following command to connect to the server and start sending messages:

websocat ws://127.0.0.1:8080
