Setting up Real Time Communication

[iharshit009]

Using a Web Socket would help us deal with it. Using Web Sockets we can get a real-time feel of getting updates in our web app. Now the question arises why couldn't we use our usual flask app for it? For that, you need to know about Polling and Streaming – Concept & Scenarios

Usually, the Flask app works on WSGI which needs to request every time the data from the server. We will use ASGI to avoid requesting the data every time.

Get a quick idea on the working of it from the resources below:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSrkkrj3l4 This is a video tutorial, which I followed, actually, this is a very good channel
• https://codeburst.io/building-your-first-chat-application-using-flask-in-7-minutes-f98de4adfa5d This is kinda what we are building
• https://flask-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ If you would love to know more about the theory(pretty important).
