A demo sanic server with a REST API and socketio server

How it works

• Sanic server exposes a simple REST API and also runs a socketio websockets server
• The JS client provided first gets connected to the socketio server.
• The socketio server then authenticates the client and connects them to a room if a valid secret is provided.
• After the socketio connection is established, whenever the client sends a message to the REST endpoint /message gets emitted to the room the client is connected.
• The emitted message is then read by the client and shown in realtime in the frontend.

How to run

• Create a venv and activate it.
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt from the project root.
• Run python sanic_sio_server.py on windows, python3 sanic_sio_server.py on linux.
• Open up the sanic_sio_client.html in a browser, preferrably chrome.
• Send a message and observe.

[!NOTE] To mimic a auth failure scenario, change the const secret = "secret"; to const secret = "secrett"; and refresh the client.
