ws-cli

A tool that allows you to instantly create a WebSocket server that clients can connect to and send and receive messages to and from those clients. This can be useful for testing applications that consume such servers by starting a mock server and sending required messages.

How to get it?

• Clone the repository (or alternatively, use the Code button at the top to download the repo):

git clone https://github.com/shrihanDev/ws-cli

• Open a terminal in that directory (cd into it):

cd ws-cli

• Install dependencies:

yarn install --production # (or `npm install` if you don't have `yarn`)

• Run it:

node .

I've installed it, now what?
