How can I implement WebSockets in Django using ASGI?

To implement WebSockets in Django using ASGI, you need to set up Django Channels. First, install it using pip.

What are the steps to install Django Channels?

You can install Django Channels by running pip install channels. Then, add 'channels' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

How do I configure ASGI in my Django project?

Create an asgi.py file in your project directory and set up the ASGI application. You can use get_asgi_application() from channels.

Can you give me an example of a simple WebSocket consumer?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from channels.generic.websocket import AsyncWebsocketConsumer

class ChatConsumer(AsyncWebsocketConsumer):
    async def connect(self):
        await self.accept()

    async def disconnect(self, close_code):
        pass

    async def receive(self, text_data):
        await self.send(text_data=text_data)
