Maybe I just haven’t found the right tool yet, but I find it surprisingly difficult to test a WebSocket backend.
Tried Postman, but didn’t seem to work. I guess they don’t support STOMP…
Had to build a web client just to test my WebSocket implementation. #dev #WebSocket
Trying to implement WebSocket in Spring Boot.
Only time I’ve used WebSocket before, was in a SignalR server.
Going to use it for a chat app I am working on. It’s just a portfolio project that I’m doing to learn.
The Spring Boot project includes REST endpoints to fetch the chat history between two users, but of course, I want real-time communication as well.
Users should be able to receive messages immediately without having to refresh the page.
For this, I will be using WebSocket.
I finally got the connection working. Now users can send messages to each other and receive in real-time, but I’m having some trouble with including all the necessary information in the STOMP, such as who sent the message. So right now, it just shows ‘unknown’ as the sender… #dev #WebSocket
I see at least one deer almost every time I walk the dog.
I hope I can teach the dog to be more chill when we spot a deer (or another wild animal), instead of starting to chase it…
Especially because I would love to bring the dog when I go out to photograph wildlife, but right now, that’s not possible at all, because it just starts chasing them 😂
