The server needs to be run first, then run the clients. What happens here is that when a client writes a message, it will be sent to all of the clients in real time.

Changing the websocket port in client.rs means that the port in server.rs needs to be changed as well. To do so, the listener code must be modified.

let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?;
    println!("listening on port 8080");

They both need to have the same port because the clients will be listening to the server's port.

To add information of client when a message is sent, the bcast_tx is modified to contain the address of client.

if let Some(text) = msg.as_text() {
    println!("From client {addr:?} {text:?}");
    bcast_tx.send(format!("{} : {}", addr, text))?;
}

Here is the result of doing so.
