iobtl/bi-chat

Overview

A simple server implementing chat-app like functionality.

Requirements

• Rust (>= 1.52.0)
• websocat - For testing WebSocket connections

Deploying

cargo run --release <db-path>

For example:

cargo run --release main.db

Will start the server, creating main.db if it does not exists.

Development

cargo watch -x run --clear --no-gitignore

To connect to the server:

websocat ws://localhost:3030/chat/:name

Where :name represents the room name to connect to. (e.g. websocat ws://localhost:3030/chat/public connects to the 'public' room)

Testing

For running tests, simply do:

cargo test

This may take some time due to some of the tests that deal with large chunk of total writes to the DB.
