How can I implement WebSockets in Django using async?

You can use Django Channels to add WebSocket support. First, install Django Channels and configure it in your settings.

What are the steps to set up Django Channels?

1. Install Django Channels using pip. 2. Add 'channels' to your INSTALLED_APPS. 3. Define a routing configuration for WebSockets.

Can you show 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)

How do I run the server to test my WebSocket implementation?

You can run the server using the command daphne -p 8000 your_project.asgi:application to test your WebSocket.
