# Websocket Sample application
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example will shows how to set up and communicate over a websocket.
## How to Use Example
### Hardware Required
This example can be executed on any ESP32 board, the only required interface is WiFi and connection to internet or a local server.
### Configure the project
* Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`)
* Configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet under "Example Connection Configuration" menu. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in [examples/protocols/README.md](../../README.md) for more details.
* Configure the websocket endpoint URI under "Example Configuration", if "WEBSOCKET_URI_FROM_STDIN" is selected then the example application will connect to the URI it reads from stdin (used for testing)
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output

## Python Flask echo server
By default, the `ws://echo.websocket.events` endpoint is used. You can setup a Python websocket echo server locally and try the `ws://<your-ip>:5000` endpoint. To do this, install Flask-sock Python package
```
pip install flask-sock
```
and start a Flask websocket echo server locally by executing the following Python code:
```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_sock import Sock
app = Flask(__name__)
sock = Sock(app)
@sock.route('/')
def echo(ws):
while True:
data = ws.receive()
ws.send(data)
if __name__ == '__main__':
# To run your Flask + WebSocket server in production you can use Gunicorn:
# gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:5000 --workers 4 --threads 100 module:app
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", debug=True)
```
