oatpp websocket server & client c++ examples

Original C++ oatpp websocket examples are implemented through OATPP_CREATE_COMPONENT and OATPP_COMPONENT macros, that are part of oatpp Dependency Injection (DI) framework reference.

The code structure of the examples with _COMPONENT macros is often unclear to new users and a bit obscure about setting up the server and connection handlers using oatpp. This repo contains refectored c++ examples of server and client without using dependency injection framework macros components.

Running Server & Client

• Open a new terminal and go to the repo root directory

Server

./build/server/oatpp-websocket-server-exe

• The server status can be checked by opening the following address in a web browser

http://localhost:8000/

Client

• The client application needs an extra argument that is taken as the client name. In a new terminal run the client executable

./build/client/oatpp-websocket-client-exe Client#1
