Modeled after the Rust Warp Websocket server example on TMS Developer Blog and the tutorial github project, I decided to make it into a bundled application with hosting configurations and a frontend that could make use of the data.
There has since been more comprehensive examples in their subsequent posts but I am just setting it up as a proof of concept with as little dependency as possible and keeping it simple.
This project is a simplistic singleton clipboard that updates real time online across multiple clients. This is more so an exercise in memory-safe and high performance json parsing and working with the borrow checker in Rust. There are many quality of life improvements I can perform but this is just a short exercise.
Feel free to visit the demo on https://harrytsangprivate.csproject.org/clipboard/ and leave a message. I don't even log the messages
- backend: A Rust websocket backend on ws://localhost:8000/ws and static http server on http://localhost:8000/clipboard
- frontend: A React project with a simple text field that calls to the reflects from the websocket servet
The Dockerfile and compose examples are provided to build a minimalistic docker image that is around 10MB with the backend code also hosting the static frontend chunks.
