Websocket starter in Rust with client and server example

Server code for websockets

(server): https://github.com/campbellgoe/rust_websocket_server

use tokio::net::TcpListener;
use tokio_tungstenite::accept_async;
use tokio_tungstenite::tungstenite::protocol::Message;
use anyhow::Result;
use futures_util::{SinkExt, StreamExt}; #[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> { let addr = "127.0.0.1:8080".to_string(); let listener = TcpListener::bind(&addr).await?; println!("WebSocket server started on ws://{}", addr); while let Ok((stream, _)) = listener.accept().await { tokio::spawn(handle_connection(stream)); } Ok(())
} async fn handle_connection(stream: tokio::net::TcpStream) -> Result<()> { let mut ws_stream = accept_async(stream).await?; println!("WebSocket connection established"); while let Some(msg) = ws_stream.next().await { let msg = msg?; if msg.is_text() { let received_text = msg.to_text()?; println!("Received message: {}", received_text); ws_stream.send(Message::Text(received_text.to_string())).await?; } } Ok(())
}

Cargo.toml (server):

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1.12", features = ["full"] }
tokio-stream = "0.1"
tokio-tungstenite = "0.23.1"
anyhow = "1.0"
futures-util = "0.3"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Client websocket code

(client): https://github.com/campbellgoe/rust_websocket_client

use tokio_tungstenite::connect_async;
use tokio_tungstenite::tungstenite::protocol::Message;
use anyhow::Result;
use futures_util::{SinkExt, StreamExt};
use url::Url; #[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> { let url = Url::parse("ws://127.0.0.1:8080")?; let (mut ws_stream, _) = connect_async(url.as_str()).await.expect("Failed to connect"); println!("WebSocket client connected"); // Sending a message to the server let message = "Hello, Server!"; ws_stream.send(Message::Text(message.into())).await?; // Receiving messages from the server while let Some(msg) = ws_stream.next().await { match msg? { Message::Text(text) => { println!("Received message from server: {}", text); } _ => {} } } Ok(())
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

client Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1.12", features = ["full"] }
tokio-stream = "0.1"
tokio-tungstenite = "0.23.1"
url = "2"
anyhow = "1.0"
futures-util = "0.3"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You could use this as a starting point for your Rust websocket project.
