Browser Top is a simple project that shows CPU usage of the serve in a browser with the help of websockets.
In this project, I learnt about how websockets work, how they are implemented in rust (specifically actix-web framework) and how to run synchronous in async environment with the help of tokio's signals and channels.
This project requires a few dependencies to be installed in order to work:
- Make - Comes installed with most Unix systems and also comes with Microsoft Visual Studio for C++
- Node.js and yarn - Install from https://nodejs.org/en or your distribution's package manager
- Rust - Install easily from https://rustup.rs/ for the latest version or your distribution's package manager.
Install all the required node.js dependencies using:
yarn --cwd frontend installTo run the development version of this application with hot reloading, run:
