The Solution

In this code we have a server with the capacity to send and receive messages through websockets. Over here you will encounter the following type messages:

• MSG_TO: When you send a message to someone in a channel: {'type': 'MSG_TO', 'message': '', 'from': 'USER', 'to': 'SOMEONE'}
• MSG_ALL: You will send a message to everyone in the channel: {'type': 'MSG_ALL', 'message': '', 'from': 'USER', 'to': ''}
• MSG_PM_TO: You will send a privately message to a user: {'type': 'MSG_PM_TO', 'message': '', 'from': 'USER', 'to': 'SOMEONE'}
• USER_CREATE: Try to join a new user to the channel: {'type': 'USER_CREATE', 'user': 'newUser'}
• USER_EXIT: User opt to exit from chat. {'type': 'USER_EXIT'}
