WebSockets Sample App

WebSocketsSample is an app intended to demonstrate how websockets work, use as a starting point for a new websockets app, or help one learn more about websockets. This implementation uses the FastAPI framework as it is replacing Flask. My goal with the project was to learn more about FastAPI, ASGI, uvicorn, and websockets. The websockets code is based on the FastAPI Docs. This code is not intended for production use.

ToDo:

Add real websockets client frontend with React, Angular, or X
Research application security implications with websockets
