# 💻 ws-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
Websockets are made for the web. So what better way to test/develop/debug your websocket than to use a web-app? ws-term is a web-app written in JavaScript. It stores your settings and history locally and you'll never be forced to create an account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 📖 Quick-guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download ws-term.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Open it in a text editor and configure a couple settings (L12 - L21)
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
// Address to your websocket. Kind of like an http address
|
|
|
let address = "wss://echo.websocket.org/"
|
|
|
// (array of) ws subprotecol(s) you want to negotiate. false to disable subprotecols
|
|
|
let subProtocol = false
|
|
|
// Retry connection after X ms. Set to false to disable.
|
|
|
let autoReconnect = 1000
|
|
|
// pre-configured history items. You can use these as cheap-ass shortcuts
|
|
|
history.items = []
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Open the HTML file in a browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The status will be indicated by the colored tab at the top-left corner.
|
|
|
**Green:**connected
|
|
|
**Red:**disconnected
|
|
|
**Gray:**not yet connected
|
|
|
|
|
|
Terminal messages prefixed by ‘[ws-term]’ are system messages, and not websocket messages.
|

## 🚆 Roadmap
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Right now it's pretty barebones:**
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [x] Send and receive websocket messages
|
|
|
- [x] Status indication (connected/disconnected)
|
|
|
- [x] Auto-reconnect support
|
|
|
- [x] Command history (⬆ / ⬇)
|
|
|
- [x] ‘easy’ configuration (four variables at the top of the document)
|
|
|
- [x] Websocket sub-protocol negotiation support
|
|
|
- [x] A theme I can bear to watch after dark 👀 …
|
|
|
|
|
|
**But there'll be more before the v1.0 release 🏁 :**
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Port app over to VueJS
|
|
|
- [ ] Provide either terminal tabs, or a t-mux-like interface (or both...)
|
|
|
- [ ] Provide configuration options in the app
|
|
|
- [ ] Store sessions/config locally in an exportable way (LocalStorage?)
|
|
|
- [ ] Session settings like address, port, auto-reconnect time, history and terminal buffer-size. Extendable
|
|
|
- [ ] Session state (previously received/sent messages)
|
|
|
- [ ] Project state (Active terminals, tab order etc)
|
|
|
- [ ] Application state (Active projects)
|
|
|
- [ ] implement PWA to support offline usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Maybe in the near future™**
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Technical socket stats like latency, supported sub-protocols, tls details, bandwidth/rate etc.
|
|
|
- Binary support?.. (blob)
|
|
|
- Frame details
|
|
|
- See and manage ping/pong frames
|
|
|
- Frame type.
|
|
|
- Stats like; corresponding protocol, size, etc
|
|
|
- Further integration for popular sub-protocols like WAMP, XMPP, DRP etc.
|
|
|
- A way to act as proxy. Allow app to use websocket, while maintaining insight in messages/stats. Might be in the form of (Open)SaaS or desktop app.
|
|
|
- Team / collab development features (OpenSaaS)
|
|
|
- …?
