Manx

manx is a wscat clone. It's a simple interface to websockets. Intended to be used as a client, but also contains a listener.

One of its features is that it saves the prompt, so that you can type commands even if you are receiving a flood of data.

Windows is not currently supported, but will be soon.

Install

Make sure you have Rust, then

$ cargo install manx

Usage

``` manx 0.3.0 Walther Chen walther.chen@gmail.com Talk to websockets from cli

USAGE: manx [FLAGS] [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS: connect Connect to server url [aliases: c] help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) listen Listen on port ```

Version 1.0 plans

I'm considering rewriting to bring it to 1.0. Changes include:

• new architecture, based on ripgrep cli app.
• with new architecture, handle errors with error-chain.
• rustyline instead of readline.
• ? better colors handling.
• ? async websockets.

But, I might just keep it as-is, it seems to work even if the code is not the prettiest.
