web-ser-socket (also ‘web-SIR-socket’) is a small web/-server/-socket

import {
    f_websersocket_serve, 
    f_v_before_return_response__fileserver,
    f_v_before_return_response__proxy
} from "./mod.js"

generate template structure

this will generate a template for a websersocket including http and websocket request handling also it includes a client front end application and client and server side testing script

import {
    f_generate_template
} from "./mod.js"

let s_path_abs_file_current = new URL(import.meta.url).pathname;
let s_path_abs_folder_current = s_path_abs_file_current.split('/').slice(0, -1).join('/');
await f_generate_template(`${s_path_abs_folder_current}/desired_websersocket_root_dir`);

examples

websersocket can be used in different ways…

let s_path_file_current = new URL(import.meta.url).pathname;
let s_path_folder_current = s_path_file_current.split('/').slice(0, -1).join('/'); 
// console.log(s_path_folder_current)
// Deno.exit()
await f_websersocket_serve(
