[esquerbatua]

Another possibility to offer a fast communication over server <-> client connections.

Any updates on this?

[elimisteve]

I see https://github.com/vlang/v/pull/3130 but I don't know how complete it is re: full, usable WebSocket support

[rclai]

Looks like WIP? https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/3521b7ff8966011e15260c0d5d5c880ffe885708/vlib/net/websocket

[esquerbatua]

Implemented ws, closed

[antonkatz]

This is only the client, correct? The ws server is not implemented yet?

So, with VWeb is it possible to pass data between client's browser and the V back-end server? (PS. If I butchered the architecture, forgive me, I'm new to V!)

[JalonSolov]

The ws server is implemented, just not pushed, yet. Waiting for another merge to happen first.

@antonkatz @JalonSolov ws server it's actually working, needs an little bit more work

[JalonSolov]

Right, but it's not pushed to the main v repo. And as you say, needs a little bit more work.

[codic12]

Seems that websockets were removed from the current master branch's vlib?

https://github.com/helto4real/websocket

this repository does not work with the latest version of V sadly

[JalonSolov]

It was moved to the vlib/x/websocket in the main V code. It is the complete websockets code, including autobahn tests (in the tests subdir). Just hasn't been moved out of the experimental stage, yet.

Ah great, thank you!
