This sample application is written in Ionic6 (Angular) on the client side and rust-lang.org (rust edition 2021) on the server side.

It's a demonstration of how to use Angular and websocket for a web chat. Everything the client writes to the websocket, the server echoes back (see developer console in the browser).
