WebSocketGUI

This is a simple GUI to test Websockets.

Hosted

This repo contains the source of the WebsocketGUI. If you don't want to host your own server (for example to be able to access local websockets), you can use our hosted site.

Setup

NOTE: The website needs to be hosted on a webserver. It doesn't work when you open it as a file because of CORS errors (if someone knows how to fix them, please open a PR). Described here are some ways to easily host the GUI on a Webserver. More instructions may follow.

Live Server

Live Server is a Extension for Visual Studio Code providing you with many features like live reload.

1. Open the Repo in Visual Studio Code
2. Install Live Server
3. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, type in Open with Live Server and press enter
4. Your browser should start automatically
5. You may see a overview of files. Click on index.html to open the GUI
6. Start using the WebSocketGUI! (For more instructions see How to use WebSocketGUI)
